Know-how and materials
Since 1989, Resta-Jay Percussions takes great care in the selection of materials used for manufacturing mallets and other accessories. Origin, quality and consistency of these materials guarantee the quality and specificity of RESTA-JAY mallets.
The unique method of manufacturing allows a multitude of possibilities and in consequence allows creation of many different models - one constant throughout the process: the attention given to each part of each mallet. All main stages of manufacturing are made manually and checked regularly. Design and production of mallet hearts are specific to our unique manufacturing processes. Legacy of a long experience and a constant exchange with musicians, the RESTA-JAY’s know-how is now recognized worldwide and allows us to adapt mallets manufacturing to any percussionnist's request.
CORE: design and materials of a mallet’s head have a significant effect on sound which is produced. Most of the heads component materials were especially developed by the RESTA-JAY PERCUSSION company, and are a combination between natural and synthetic materials.
YARN: each vibraphone or marimba mallet is covered by yarn combining several types of materials that are developped according to our high quality standards. All of them are then sewn manually.
RATTAN: all of our rattan handles are rigorously selected and calibrated to 1/10 millimeter. Flexibility is also measured and calibrated for a perfect sound homogeneity.
BAMBOO: each bamboo handle is calibrated to the gram. The node is positioned in the middle of the handle for a perfect balance.
Very precise polishing of the unvarnished bamboo allows a very pleasant contact without slipping.
WOOD: made in Canadian maple, our handles are balanced to the gram and have a satin varnish finish.
COMPOSITE: composite handles offer an excellent alternative to rattan for student mallets. Average flexibility facilitates playing and sound development on both xylophone and vibraphone.
Research and development
Regularly offering new ranges of mallets, stemming from the brand's innovations, the Resta-Jay company will be a full stakeholder in the evolution of the musical language, for which the percussion plays an increasingly important role.
Aware of the evolution of the repertory, of the instruments and technology, RESTA-JAY takes part in an ongoing process of research involving engineers specialized in all different materials composing the mallets.
Essential to new mallets creation, development of these new materials, combined to our experience and to collaboration with the most famous international percussionists give birth to new sound offers.
