Marimba Mallets Signature Jean Geoffroy - 01 Very Soft
The Signature Jean Geoffroy 01 mallets produce a warm, round and dark sound, with a strong presence in the low and middle registers. The definition remains full and balanced, with a particularly prominent fundamental.
Their rounded, deep attack encourages broad, expressive playing. The feel remains dense and responsive, while their excellent response and wide dynamic range allow a great deal of nuance and richness to be retained in the playing.
The heavy head gives a full-bodied tone, depth and projection, while clearly reinforcing the fundamental.
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
