On-Stage’s new WPM350 Yarn Mallets are an essential percussion accessory for playing marimbas and vibraphones. With their medium-hard, yarn-wrapped cork heads, these mallets help generate a tone that’s balanced between clarity and warm instrument resonance — great for playing expressive solos and standing out in ensembles. While the heads of these mallets are hard enough to produce clear articulation, they’re also soft enough to protect wooden tone bars against damage, making them a great choice for achieving unique tones on a wide range of tuned-percussion instruments. The 16-inch-long handles deliver balance and flexibility for precise stroke control, while enabling players to choose a natural-feeling hand position with a relaxed grip.
