The Earth Tone Series ET30 medium yarn mallet works well as a legato for the alto voice.  The attack is round and warm yet defined and not blurry.   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.
