Vibraphone Mallets Signature Prestige Thomas Dobler – 03
The Signature Prestige Thomas Dobler 03 "West Coast" mallets produce a warm, brilliant, bright and resonant sound, with a very open and expressive identity. The definition remains balanced, letting roundness and articulation interact without sacrificing richness of tone.
Their supple, progressive and versatile attack encourages highly colourful playing. The projection is excellent, full and sustained, while the feel remains pleasant, dense and well balanced. Their wide dynamic range allows expressive nuances to be maintained with great freedom of playing.
The pronounced weight of the head brings depth, foundation and projection, while reinforcing the fundamental. The Prestige design further accentuates this presence in the fundamental register, while the Velvety yarn gives a more velvety sound texture and a lovely harmonic richness.
Available with rattan or wooden handles. For vibraphone we recommend rattan: more flexible and more comfortable, it also allows the instrument's sound to develop more fully, without the colouration or vibrations inherent to wooden handles.
The Prestige Series wool yarns have been specially developed by Resta-Jay to offer different playing sensations and sound colours. Depending on the model, you can choose between three types of wool yarn:
“Exclusive” Wool yarn
Highly resistant, this wool yarn produces a precise, rich and well-structured sound. Its break-in period is more progressive: the mallets require more playing time to reach their optimal sound, but in return offer excellent durability.
“Clarity” Wool yarn
The original wool yarn used for the Prestige Series. It provides excellent clarity, a fast response and a bright sound. Its break-in period is shorter, allowing the mallets to reach their full sound more quickly, although the wool yarn is slightly less resistant than the Exclusive version.
“Velvety” Wool yarn
Developed to provide a particularly smooth, velvety and comfortable feel, this wool yarn offers a unique playing sensation and allows for a wide range of dynamics and sound colours.
