Marimba Mallets Signature Jean Geoffroy - 06 Hard
The Signature Jean Geoffroy 06 mallets produce a luminous, brilliant and clean sound, with excellent clarity on every note.
Their clean attack offers an immediate response, while the feel remains dense and responsive. Their wide dynamic range allows precision, clarity and expressiveness to be retained in the most demanding passages.
The balanced head favours a direct, versatile response, without adding any superfluous sonic material. This model is particularly suited to the upper parts of the marimba.
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
