Vibraphone Mallet Signature Prestige Thierry Bonneaux – Medium Hard Brilliant
The Signature Prestige Thierry Bonneaux Medium Hard Brilliant mallets produce a rich, bright and resonant sound, particularly suited to musicians looking for precision, presence and projection on the vibraphone.
Their clean, incisive and lively attack ensures precise articulation and excellent clarity on every note. The projection is full and bright, while the feel remains responsive, dense and well balanced. The response is immediate and allows dynamic nuances to be maintained across a wide range of playing.
The heavy head brings depth, foundation and projection, while bringing the fundamental further to the fore. The Prestige design further accentuates this presence in the fundamental register, while the Clarity yarn reinforces the brightness of the tone and encourages a quick response.
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.
