Innovative PercussionTom Rarick Series Birch Handle Marimba Mallet Hard Pewter Yarn
Sale
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The hard Pewter Yarn model in Innovative Percussion’s Tom Rarick Series is a marimba mallet built around a large round core and light-grey synthetic wool-blend wrap. Its 11/32-inch polished birch handle is larger than the series’ standard reference point, with the design intended to support balance and control. The heavier core is made to increase projection while bringing out the fundamental tone, making it a focused option for front-ensemble writing in the marching setting.

- Marching front-ensemble parts that call for greater projection and a more pronounced fundamental tone.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
