Glockenspiel mallets with brass heads

Glockenspiels with very thick bars require mass to make them vibrate optimally. The soft metal brass has the necessary mass, as well as developing a distinctive sound when well played in through constant use.

In addition, these mallets, which are available in two different sizes and with different handles, are ideal for use with crotales.
