Encore Mallets and artist Nancy Zeltsman worked together to design a set of marimba mallets to meet any player's needs. Their weighty heads of soft, Peruvian wool yarn allow marimbists to create consistently warm tones at all dynamic levels, and are an outstanding choice for solo and ensemble marimba artistry. NZ Series mallets feature latex wrapped disk cores and are available in eight degrees of hardness for musical expression through the full range of the marimba. The NZ4B mallets feature a mocha yarn head, birch handles, and are designed for use on nearly the entire range of the marimba.
