On-Stage WPM350 Yarn Mallets

These yarn-wrapped mallets are designed to play keyboard percussion instruments—such as marimbas and vibraphones—as well as suspended cymbals, producing a warm, rich tone with a soft attack and smooth sustain.

The shafts are crafted from smooth, high-quality hardwood (maple/birch style), offering a balanced, lightweight feel in the hands with excellent flex and vibration dampening during play.

They feature medium-hard yarn wrapping wound tightly around a solid core, providing a versatile balance between soft, warm tonal projection and articulate note definition across the full range of the instrument.

No. The soft, tightly wound yarn head acts as a cushion between the mallet core and the playing surface, protecting delicate rosewood, padauk, and synthetic or aluminum bars from denting and scratching.

The shafts measure approximately 15.5 inches in length with a standard comfortable grip diameter, giving players optimal control, leverage, and reach for both two-mallet and four-mallet technique grips.

Yes, they are excellent for creating smooth, swelling rolls on suspended cymbals without the sharp, metallic contact click produced by standard wooden drumsticks.

No, the high-tensile yarn is precision-wound and double-knotted at the core base to prevent unraveling or fraying, even under regular performance and rehearsal use.

The On-Stage WPM350 mallets are sold as a complete, matched pair (2 mallets total).
