Detail 01
Medium hardness
The middle setting. Enough attack to be heard, not so hard it clacks on wooden bars.

Vic FirthVirtuoso Series Keyboard Mallet Medium
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Medium-hardness keyboard mallet for marimba, vibraphone and xylophone. For a percussionist or student who needs a general-purpose mallet that covers most parts.
Strong match
Who this is for
- School and youth percussion players building a first mallet set
- Concert band and orchestra parts that stay in the middle dynamic range
- Marimba and vibraphone work where a hard mallet is too bright
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players needing a specific soft or hard mallet for one part
- Anyone wanting a matched set of several hardnesses out of one purchase
- Drumset players — this is a keyboard mallet, not a stick

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I use these on a xylophone?
Yes. Medium keyboard mallets work on xylophone, though many players prefer harder mallets there for more attack and projection.
02How many mallets come in the package?
A pair — two mallets. Four-mallet marimba technique needs two packages.
03Are these good for a beginning percussion student?
Yes. Medium hardness covers most beginning and intermediate concert parts without needing several sets.
04Can I use these on a drum?
They are made for tuned bar instruments. Use sticks or drum mallets for drums and cymbals.
