Innovative PercussionBrass Bell Mallets IP907 Small
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Small-head brass mallets for orchestra bells and glockenspiel. Bright, hard and loud — the standard choice when bells need to cut through an ensemble.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Orchestra bells and glockenspiel parts that must cut through full band
- Concert percussionists needing maximum brightness and projection
- Fast, articulate bell passages where a defined attack matters
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Vibraphone or marimba — brass damages soft bars
- Quiet or blended bell passages that need plastic or rubber heads
- Players wanting one mallet pair for every keyboard instrument
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
small head size
Less mass and a tighter contact point, so attack is more focused and articulate than a large brass head.
Detail 03
bell mallets specifically
Sized and weighted for glockenspiel bars, which are narrow and metal — not interchangeable with marimba or vibraphone mallets.
Detail 04
$63.50
Above student-set pricing because heads are metal rather than moulded plastic. Expect them to outlast several plastic pairs.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Brass on vibraphone or marimba bars will dent them — bells only.
- 02No case or mallet bag included at this price.
- 03You still need plastic or rubber bell mallets for softer passages.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01What instrument are brass mallets for?
Orchestra bells and glockenspiel. The metal head is what produces the bright, projecting ring those instruments are written for.
02Can I use these on vibraphone?
No. Vibraphone bars are softer aluminum and brass will dent them. Use wrapped vibraphone mallets instead.
03What does the Small refer to?
Head size. A smaller brass head has less mass, giving a tighter, more articulate attack and slightly less raw volume than a larger one.
04Are brass mallets too loud for a school ensemble?
They are the loudest common bell option. Most percussionists carry brass plus a softer plastic or rubber pair and choose by passage.
