Marimba Mallets Signature Jean Geoffroy - 03 Medium Soft
The Signature Jean Geoffroy 03 mallets produce a warm, round and rich sound, with full, very balanced definition and great suppleness of playing.
Their versatile, deep attack allows a great deal of richness to be retained at every dynamic. The projection is full, with a generous presence in the low and middle registers. Their excellent response and wide dynamic range offer great freedom of expression.
The density of the head gives the sound a full-bodied tone, depth and foundation, while bringing out the fundamental. They are particularly suited to repertoire such as the Violin Suites, Bach's Sonatas and Partitas for violin, and the works of Éric Sammut.
Available with wooden or rattan handles.
"Inseparable from a breath, a gesture, a sound, a phrasing, the mallets are the essential element, of my work as a musician, before the marimba itself... These mallets are more than just simple mallets. They are a suggestion, an invitation to look for again and again a sound in which we find ourself, the one that will enable us to play, "to play with", and then to try to reach our musician’s dreams."
J. Geoffroy

L'artiste
Jean Geoffroy: International solo percussionist and educator.
"Inseparable from a breath, a gesture, a sound, a phrasing, these mallets are the essential element of my work as a musician, well before the marimba itself... They are far more than mere mallets; they are a sonic proposition, an invitation to search again and again for the sound in which we recognise ourselves, the one that will allow us to play, to make music, and thus to try to move closer to our musicians' dreams." J. Geoffroy
