Marimba Mallet Signature Jean Geoffroy – 02.5 Soft and Bright
The Signature Jean Geoffroy 02.5 mallets produce a warm, round and rich sound, with full, balanced definition. Warmth naturally dominates, without ever hardening the sound.
Their full, deep and mellow attack encourages great richness of timbre. The projection is full, with a fine presence in the low and middle frequencies. The feel remains dense and deep, with an excellent response and a wide dynamic range that allows particularly expressive nuances to be retained.
The dense head gives the sound a full-bodied tone, depth and foundation, while bringing out the fundamental. This model is particularly suited to repertoire such as J. S. Bach's Cello Suites or the Chaconne.
Available with rattan or wooden 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."

The artist
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
