Marimba Mallets Signature Jean Geoffroy - 04 Medium
The Signature Jean Geoffroy 04 mallets produce a round, balanced and full sound, with natural, effortless articulation. They offer an excellent balance between depth, clarity and richness of timbre.
Their versatile, deep attack particularly brings out the low and middle frequencies. The response remains excellent across a wide dynamic range, allowing precision and expressiveness to be retained in highly varied playing contexts.
The density of the head gives the sound a full-bodied tone, depth and foundation, while reinforcing the fundamental. This model is particularly suited to the works of Pius Cheung, Éric Sammut and Emmanuel Séjourné.
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."
J. Geoffroy

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
