1 in. round
This identifies the round 1-inch version within the Articulate Series.

Independent shopping perspective
For detailed glockenspiel writing, the Articulate Series M440 is the smallest and lightest of Vic Firth’s six phenolic-core choices. The 1-inch round model is presented for delicate, articulate passages, giving a player a focused option when selecting from a line that spans xylophone and bells/glockenspiel sounds. It is a practical choice when the part itself calls for finesse and definition.
