Independent shopping perspective
Hard Lexan Ball xylophone and bell mallets from Vater's Front Ensemble Series are built around 11/32-inch satin birch shafts. Those heavier shafts are presented for the repeated articulation, projection, comfort, and handling demands of marching percussion. They suit front-ensemble setups that move between indoor and outdoor use, where the same mallet needs to serve xylophone and bell applications within the ensemble.
