Marimba Mallets Signature Jean Geoffroy - 07 Very Hard
The Signature Jean Geoffroy 07 mallets produce a dazzling sound, with very precise, perfectly articulated definition. Clarity is pushed to the maximum, to bring out every detail of the playing.
Their lively attack and excellent response in the upper register encourage precise, fast and expressive playing, with nuances that remain perfectly legible.
The slightly lighter head brings more velocity and freedom to the stroke. This model is particularly suited to the very high parts of the marimba.
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
