Vic Firth Corpsmaster Keyboard/Ian Grom M268 Unwound Marimba/Xylophone Mallets

An expansion of the best-selling Vic Firth Corpsmaster Ian Grom Signature Series, the M268 is a new concept for a front ensemble mallet, turning the top end of the marimba into a xylophone timbre without causing damage to the keys. In ensembles without a dedicated xylophone player, this mallet allows the center marimba to transform their sound to add articulation to the orchestration without ever leaving their keyboard. Balanced in both sound and weight, this new addition to the series can also be utilized for 4 mallet phrases in the upper end of the keyboard.
