Everything about the Mark Ford Signature Series

Mark Ford, renowned educator, performer, and Coordinator of Percussion at the University of North Texas, has assisted with the development of these two lines of solo marimba mallets.

Strong Legato Mallets – These mallets features larger rubber cores for a full tone and stronger fundamental, while still using an extra-soft yarn to produce legato tone at all dynamic levels.

Rhapsody Mallets – Using a variety of Large Rubber cores combined with Purple cord, the result is a series of mallets that produce a very quick speaking mallet with immediate tone and articulation. These mallets are built to make sure that you will be heard in the back of any concert hall.

All eight models feature natural Birch handles, allowing the player additional control in demanding performance situations. They are not available in Rattan.
