NEW! Malletech Ed Smith Vibe Mallets
The Ed Smith vibraphone mallets were created out of a two year research process to eliminate the usual issues found in vibraphone mallets. Many vibe mallets are either too hard at high volumes or lack definition at low volumes. These mallets aim to solve those issues with three internal components as well as two separate layers of yarn winding. The result is a medium hard vibe mallet that produces outstanding clarity and evenness of sound at all dynamic levels. Each pair of mallets is also individually weighted to not vary more than seven one-hundredths of an ounce.

Malletech MR20B Markus Rhoten Orange Timpani Mallets
The Malletech line of Markus Rhoten bamboo timpani mallets are handcrafted for the professional timpanist, and those who intend to become professional timpanists. Markus Rhoten, Principal Timpanist of the New York Philharmonic Orchestra and faculty of the Juilliard School of Music, is the perfect musician to design a line of timpani mallets that bring European timpani traditions to America. Born to American parents, schooled in Germany, Markus's previous posts included The Berlin Symphony Orchestra and the Bavarian Radio Orchestra. While most bamboo timpani mallets are made in the American tradition of core plus one, or at maximum two layers of felt, the Markus Rhoten line has up to five functional layers of construction with a variety of core materials and structures. Of course, such a labor-intensive, multi-layered design costs a little more, but it offers the serious musician a degree of expressive nuance that is unachievable with less-complex designs. The mallets in this line require several cycles of "play-in" on a hard surface, depending on the number of layers of felt. A custom re-felting service is offered by Malletech felt sewing experts, so that timpanists can be confident that they will be able to use each pair of these musical instruments for many years.

Malletech 2.6 "Infinity" Glockenspiel

But they didn't stop there. Malletech redesigned the case, eliminated all sources of noise and revolutionized the suspension. The essence of the glockenspiel or orchestra bell tone is largely determined by the quality of the steel and dimensions of the bars. The great glocks made in the first half of the 20th century were made from the hardest steel available. Today, the major manufacturers start with a much softer steel that is easier to cut, tune and polish. However, a softer metal can never produce the crystalline tonal brilliance of the old formula steel. Many orchestra bells made today still have the bars attached to the frame with screws. Hardly anything could dampen the vibration of the bars better! Other makers have the steel bar lay across a felt pad or string, similarly stifling the tone. This patented three-point support system allows each glockenspiel bar to ring freely, almost as if it were suspended on air. Just three tiny rubber points touch the underside of the bar, leaving the top surface completely smooth and free of holes, screws or other suspension devices. The bar rails and extra-deep case are made from solid oak with brass latches and two oak carrying handles. The bar rails are completely suspended and do not touch the floor of the case. All the contact points, including the bottom exterior of the case are insulated with neoprene rubber and 100% wool felt, eliminating any case noise and leaving the space under the bars to act as one big reflecting and resonating chamber. Malletech uses a special nickel process that does not flake off like chrome and is more flexible, so the plating does not dampen the tone of instrument. This process produces a uniform steel-gray, glare-free matte finish. So compare the Malletech glockenspiel with any other set of orchestra bells, of any vintage, made anywhere in the world. The tuning, sustain, brilliance of tone, case, suspension system and overall quality will leave no doubt about what is the best set of orchestra bells at any price.

Malletech 3.0 Love Vibe Vibraphone
Dimensions (Overall): 60.25 inches (L), 17.25 inches (H) x 29.0 inches (W)Weight: 139.0 poundsWarranty: No Applicable Warranty. To obtain a copy of the manufacturer's or supplier's warranty for this item prior to purchasing the item, & bull; Pedal control of vibrato speed & bull; Broad dynamic range & bull; Crescendo and diminuendo at will & bull; Easy to set up & bull; Silent operationThe first and most obvious question to ask is, "Why did Malletech call this instrument the Love Vibe?" This design was very much a labor of love on the part of its creator (see his statement at the end of this listing), but moreover, the Love Vibe offers unprecedented control over the instrument, along with less pedal noise and greater dynamic range than conventional vibraphones.The Love Vibe is played it just like a "normal" vibraphone (using the first half of the pedal range), but when push the pedal a bit further, can control the speed of the vibrato in real time. can add vibrato (much like a pop singer), link vibrato speed to the underlying tempo, improvise "vibrato rhythms" at will, and control the depth & strength of the effect in real time.It features fully open to fully closed resonators, no air leakage around pulsar disks (for softest ppp), no blockage of bar vibrations by fans (for maximum fff), no tube cut outs (full frequency spectrum and power of resonance), and crescendo and diminuendo at will.The Love Vibe is easy for one person to set up quickly and it has no motor, which results in silent vibrato control. Every parameter is user adjustable, and these instruments feature the most beautiful "electric guitar" choice of finishes ever seen on a vibraphone. The resonators are fully tunable. This is the first vibraphone with Malletech's Patented fully tunable resonators for maximum warmth, volume and control of sustain. won't understand how ever lived without them.Designer Statement"I began the design process for this vibraphone more than 15 years ago. It seemed obvious to me that the noisy, unexpressive, motorized vibrato used on all vibraphones was musically uninspiring. Many vibraphone players even chose to create their music without use of the "vibra" part of the vibraphone, because even the best instruments frequently had motors and pulsar fan assemblies that were too noisy to use. Even on a brand new instrument that was working well, the musical result of a motor-produced vibrato was mechanical sounding and musically unsatisfying to my ears.When I began to look more closely at vibraphones, I realized that there were an array of other problems that plagued the daily lives of vibes players: dampening systems that were impossible to adjust to musically critical standards (high and low range dampening at different times, or sharps and naturals dampening at different times); poorly engineered frames that flexed, squeaked and rattled under hard playing, or worse, with every push of the pedal (or the more recent "cement truck solutions" to the problem). Most of these frame and dampening problems experienced could not be fixed on a gig, and the basic design made set up and break down unnecessarily difficult and time consuming.Much gratitude is owed to Roger Clerc and Josef Eberl, the two Swiss engineers who brought my ideas to mathematical and structural perfection, and to the several Malletech employees who also contributed their time, effort and skills to the project. This was no easy thing to conceive or to perfect. If it were simple, other larger, well-funded companies would have solved these problems decades ago. The reaction to a prototype at the 2008 PASIC was more gratifying than we could have hoped for. Based on player input we solved the remaining ergonomic issues with the pedal and we are now proud to present the finished instrument that began shipping in August 2009. All of us who were involved in this project over the past few years hope love our Love Vibe.

Malletech Smith Vibraphone Mallets Set of 4 (2 Matched Pairs)
Dimensions (Overall): 18.0 inches (L), 2.0 inches (H) x 4.0 inches (W) x 18.0 inches (D)Weight: .25 poundsPackage Quantity: 1Warranty: No Applicable Warranty. To obtain a copy of the manufacturer's or supplier's warranty for this item prior to purchasing the item, The new Ed Smith ELS16 vibe mallet has a complex, multi-layered construction that defines the exact sweet sound spot for a medium hard vibe mallet. The usual shortcomings of vibe mallets (either too hard and clanky at high volume or lacking definition and clarity at low dynamics) were engineered out of the sound through a two-year process of research and development that combines three internal core components and a two-layered winding program. The yarn is the Malletech Proprietary Nylon -- often copied, but never duplicated. It produces a clean, slap-free attack and lasts for many, many years of creative music making.
