Historical Context and Positioning Within the Range

Complementing his series of mallets dedicated to marimba, Robert van Sice has developed a new series specifically focused on the vibraphone, comprising 5 models. This line follows a continuity logic: offering mallets with a very "singing" musical behavior, featuring smooth vibration to achieve a natural fusion of sound both in small ensembles and demanding sections.

Target Audience for This Set/Instrument

These mallets are aimed at intermediate to expert percussionists seeking refined touch and enveloping tonal color. They are especially suitable for repertoires where the vibraphone must blend seamlessly with the instrumental texture: chamber music, delicate orchestral passages, soft accompaniments, as well as solo playing when prioritizing roundness and line continuity over a highly percussive attack.
