The chevron pattern around the Wave Wrap™ mallet head combines a blend of nylon and wool yarn that evokes maximum warmth and articulation. The highest concentration of yarn is wrapped around the mallet's "equator", creating an increased striking surface making this mallet the most responsive throughout the entire range of the keyboard than any other mallet. Exclusively unique, these mallets sound very warm and resonant in the bass end and yet clear and articulate in the treble end. We offer the Wave Wrap™ in five varying models and is available in both birch or rattan handles.
