Marimba Mallets Signature Jean Geoffroy - 05.5 Medium Brilliant
The Signature Jean Geoffroy 05.5 mallets produce a rich, brilliant and full sound, with precise definition in which clarity comes clearly to the fore.
Their attack is direct and sustained, with a slightly more pronounced sense of weight. The feel remains dense and responsive, with an excellent response that favours precision and sonic presence.
The density of the head gives the sound a full-bodied tone, foundation and depth, while bringing out the fundamental.
Available with rattan or wooden 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

The artist
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
