Detail 01
Rubber, not felt or foam
Rubber holds its shape and rebound longer than foam, which compresses flat and starts damping the bar.

Studio 49Rubber Mount Strip
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A strip of rubber that sits between resonator box and bar mounts on Studio 49 mallet instruments. Replacement or repair part, not an upgrade.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Replacing hardened or torn rubber on an aging Studio 49 instrument
- School music rooms keeping Orff instruments in service
- Repairing a bar that rattles or buzzes against its frame
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Anyone expecting a tonal upgrade — this restores original behavior, nothing more
- Owners of non-Studio 49 instruments without checking fit first
- A player who has not confirmed the mounting rubber is what failed
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
Sold as a strip
You cut it to length for your instrument rather than buying a part sized to one specific bar.
Detail 03
Mount material
The bar has to sit on something compliant to ring freely. Dead mounting is the usual cause of a choked note.
Detail 04
Studio 49 fitment
Sized around Studio 49 frames and bar spacing. On another maker's instrument, measure before ordering.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Measure your existing strip — one strip may not cover a full instrument
- 02Nothing else is included: no cord, pins, posts or adhesive
- 03Check whether the cord or pins failed instead before blaming the rubber
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Will this fix a buzzing bar?
If the buzz comes from the bar contacting hardened or missing rubber at the mount points, yes. If the cord is loose or a pin is bent, replacing the rubber will not help.
02Does it fit any xylophone?
It is made for Studio 49 instruments. Other brands use different frame widths and mount spacing, so measure your existing strip against this one before buying.
03Do I need glue?
None is included. How the strip is retained depends on your instrument's frame, so check how the original was held in place before ordering adhesive.
04Can I cut it to length?
Yes — it comes as a strip and is meant to be cut to fit your instrument's rails.
