The Earth Tone Series ET10 soft yarn mallet works great for low end legato playing.   The natural birch shafts offer superior control to the performer

The Salyers Percussion Earth Tone Series drew its inspiration from the warm sounds of natural wood and metallic instruments. These marimba mallets feature natural birch mallets, 100% soft wool yarn and round rubber cores that create warm and rich organic tones. The sound is rich and warm.
