Birch shafts
The shafts are described as rigid, accurate, and fast for upper-register two-mallet passages and quick dynamic changes.

Independent shopping perspective
The hard Iain Moyer signature vibraphone mallet is aimed at the instrument’s upper two octaves, where it is described as light and articulate. Birch shafts bring the stated rigidity, accuracy, and speed for fast two-mallet material and quick note-to-note dynamic changes. Its synthetic cord wrapping also makes it usable on marimba for a distinct articulation. Color-coded star-shaped stitching distinguishes the model in a mallet bag.
