Shappy Rubber Xylophone Mallet Bell Mallets Percussion 15 in Long (Black)

These are what they are. Maybe I didn’t read the description very well, but these are rubber mallets. New to percussion here, so my son(in band) says that rubber mallets are pretty quiet 🤫. These great for practice within the house but not ideal for performances .

Good quality, especially considering the price! I bought them to replace missing mallets for my middle school’s Orff instrument xylophones and metalophones. The sound quality was acceptable on both instruments, and the mallets durable enough to hold up to the heavy use of 6th, 7th and 8th grade students so far. I would buy these again. The heads are too large for a glockenspiel, but perfect for soprano, alto and tenor Orff instruments.

I ordered these mallets to use during practices at home, as I haven't played in quite a few years. They are well made, function perfectly and, more importantly, not nearly as loud as those I use for performances. Well done!

Grandson uses them for band

I use one of these mallets to strike my little silver bell so that the clapper hits the bell only once per strike, something which I could not do if I were to ring it with my hand.

These work well with resonator bells. I got them to replace some broken ones. The only thing is they were a little bigger than I thought, but at least they are hopefully less likely for my school kids to damage!

We used to have a set of softer rubber mallets for a glockenspiel, but my kids lost them. I got these hoping they'd give me a mellower tone, but they're still pretty hard, and the balls at the end of the sticks are pretty large and heavy for playing. I felt the need to move my grip much closer to the ball end to play, and the tone I'm getting still isn't that pleasant, though it is better than what I was getting with a hard plastic mallet. The sticks feel really rough and cheap, but they're serviceable. I bought a different brand to hopefully get something a little closer to what I wanted.

I got these for my wife who decided to bid on a giant xylophone at an auction that didn’t have the sticks. They work well for their intended purpose

Not exactly the cheapest mallets on the block, but honestly I paid for a bit more durability on purpose.

Je suis très satisfaite de mon achat

Had low expectations for the cheapest mallets on Amazon, but these are great.
