Detail 01
Wood heads
Hard contact on metal bars gives a sharp, cutting attack and short sustain. Bright rather than warm.

Sonor OrffElementary Percussion Mallets Sch95 Wood Head Glockenspiel
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A pair of wood-head mallets sized for glockenspiel, at the price schools buy in bulk. For classroom Orff carts and beginner players.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Classroom sets where mallets get lost or broken often
- Glockenspiel bars that need a clear, bright attack
- Stocking spares alongside an existing Orff instrument
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Marimba or bass bars, which want softer yarn heads
- Players wanting a range of hardnesses from one purchase
- Anyone needing mallets that survive years of daily use
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
Glockenspiel-specific
Head size and weight are matched to narrow metal bars, not the wider bars on a xylophone.
Detail 03
Under twenty dollars
Priced as a consumable. Buy several pairs rather than expecting one pair to last.
Detail 04
Sonor Orff line
Built to the same classroom spec as Sonor's Orff instruments, so sizing matches those bars.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Mallets only. No instrument, case, or storage rack included.
- 02Wood heads mark soft bars over time, so keep them off wooden instruments.
- 03Check whether your glockenspiel already shipped with mallets before ordering.
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use these on a xylophone?
They will work but are not sized for it. Wood on wood is loud and hard, and the head is matched to narrower metal glockenspiel bars.
02How many mallets come in the pack?
A pair, meaning two mallets, which covers one player.
03Are these good for young kids?
Yes. They are the standard classroom option for glockenspiel and are cheap enough to replace when lost or broken.
04Will these damage the bars?
On metal glockenspiel bars, no. On wooden bars, hard wood heads can dent the surface over repeated use.
