Pesante Series Keyboard Mallets

The musical term “Pesante” means to “play with weight and emphasis”. And with these extraordinary new marimba/vibraphone mallets, this is just what you can expect to achieve. These mallets are an outstanding choice for enhancing the tonal color and projection for marimba and vibraphone when playing within every conceivable ensemble including orchestra, wind ensemble, marching band, drum corps and indoor marching and concert groups.
