Vibraphone Mallets Signature Prestige Vincent Limouzin
The Signature Prestige Vincent Limouzin mallets produce a warm, round and versatile sound, particularly suited to musicians looking for a natural balance between warmth, clarity and richness of tone. The definition remains precise while retaining a lovely roundness of sound.
Their supple, progressive and versatile attack encourages fluid, expressive playing. The projection is natural and singing, while the feel remains pleasant, light and well balanced. Their wide dynamic range allows natural transitions between dynamics, with the fundamental brought further to the fore.
The density of the head gives a full-bodied tone, depth and foundation to the sound, while the Prestige design accentuates the presence and projection of the fundamental. The Velvety yarn gives a more velvety sound texture, while preserving the richness and roundness of the tone.
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.
