Felt Mallets - Cork
B-Sharp Percussion mallets of cork are part of the most traditional sound for timpani (combined with wood).
The cork, of national origin and of high quality, is selected by weight in order to guarantee the good density of the material (the natural materials always present a great variability).
The results are light heads in relation to their volume that let us create a lighter sound than their wooden counterpart. A “classic” sound with a perfect filling for the European conception of music. It is not coincidence that, as in the case of wood, cork is one of the most ancient materials used in the fabrication of maces for orchestra timpani.
Their answer is very fast in our hands and the attacks are less aggressive. Less present but not because of this they are worthless: they can grasp a deep sound from the timpani bowl; very rich in harmonics.
They are hand-made and handcrafted in three different core diameters (20, 25 and 30 mm) of spherical cork. They are covered with German felt of very low density and of high quality. They are covered in different proportion of layers and final thickness in order to obtain a color palette as wide as possible for this kind of sound.
We start from three models according to their core diameter (models B), and that divide the working range of the mallets into three major segments: Hard, medium and soft.
Optionally, for those seeking to complete their sound, we offer the possibility of using harder models (model A) and softer (model C) that allow us to obtain a more specialized mallet. On request.
To sum up:
- 3 sizes of national cork cores: 20, 25 and 30 mm. Models B.
- Bamboo shaft of high quality of 10/11 mm diameter and 38 cm. long.
- Translucent silicone counterweight in order to have better grip and control.
- Between 1 and 4 covering layers of felt, depending on the model.
- Models A and C of each size offer extended nuances of hardness by varying the amount of felt. On request.
All this is summarized in the following table:
