Vic FirthIain Moyer Corpsmaster Signature Vibraphone Mallet Medium-Hard
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Built around a medium-hard head and birch shafts, this Iain Moyer signature vibraphone mallet is intended for chordal passages as well as virtuosic writing throughout the instrument’s range. The shafts are described as rigid, accurate, and quick in fast two-mallet passages and note-to-note dynamic changes. Synthetic cord wrapping also gives it a distinct articulation on marimba, making it a focused option for players moving between the two instruments.

- Chordal passages and virtuosic vibraphone parts that move across the full instrument range.
