Detail 01
Chime-specific mallets
Built to strike the crown of a tubular bell. Using bell or marimba mallets there gives a thin, wrong attack.

LudwigM-336 Chime Mallets
1/3
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Replacement mallets for orchestral chimes. For percussion sections and school ensembles restocking worn or missing chime mallets.
Strong match
Who this is for
- School and church percussion sections replacing lost chime mallets
- Orchestral players who need a spare pair in the trap case
- Anyone with chimes but no dedicated mallets for them
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Keyboard percussion — these are not marimba, vibe, or bell mallets
- Drum set players; chime mallets do nothing on a kit
- Timpani or bass drum work
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
Ludwig M-336
The stock mallet spec for Ludwig chimes, so the sound matches what the instrument was voiced for.
Detail 03
Around $33
Sits at the utility end. Fine as a section spare rather than a soloist's personal set.
Detail 04
Mallet only, no instrument
This is a stick purchase. You need chimes and a damper pedal already in place.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01No chimes, stand, or damper hardware included
- 02Confirm whether you're buying one mallet or a pair before ordering
- 03Chime heads wear and dent over time; treat them as consumable
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use these on a xylophone or glockenspiel?
No. They're shaped and weighted for tubular chimes. Bar percussion needs its own mallets to sound and track correctly.
02One mallet or two?
Chime mallets are often sold singly. Check the quantity on the order before assuming you're getting a pair.
03Will these work on non-Ludwig chimes?
Yes. Chime mallets aren't brand-locked; any set of tubular bells takes them.
04Do I still need a damper pedal?
Yes. The mallet only strikes. Stopping the ring is the damper's job, and that's part of the instrument.
