STUDENT MALLETS – as low as $13/pair
- Student Models
The student models have been designed especially for percussion students ranging from the very young beginners performing on Orff instruments to the advanced high school percussionist. Each of these mallets can be purchased individually or in Student Packs.
The student models have two series: The Orff Series and the General Student Series. Each mallet is designed to be similar to the professional level models with adjustments to the size of the mallet head and length of the mallets.
Smaller mallet heads are designed to fit on the smaller instruments found in most schools. The shorter length sticks are designed to fit the shorter size of most students hands and arms. This allows the student to have the same type of counter balance that a professional would have with the regular length sticks.
Orff Series
The Orff Mallet series were designed for the traditional Orff Xylophones, Glockenspiels and Metallophones found in many elementary and middle school programs. The shafts are shorter to accomodate smaller hands; the colors are brightly coordinated to quickly identify soft, medium and articulate mallets from across the room; and the mallet heads are sized to fit the smaller bars found on most Orff instruments. The Orff Series all have hickory shafts amd are 3/8 ” in diameter and 13″ long.

Genearl Student Series
Student Models
The General Student Series was designed for funcionality and durability. The shafts are a bit larger in diameter than the professional series and a 1/2 shorter. Each mallet head is made of the same materials as found on the professional models, yet are sometimes smaller in diameter to accomodate the smaller instruments found in many schools.
YS 20 Marimba Student - Blue Yarn
The Marimba Student mallet is made for Marimbas but also works well on Vibraphones and Xylomarimbas (a marimba sounding instrument with narrower bars than a traditional marimba–can be used as a xylophone or a marmiba and is very popular in many school band programs). The hickory shaft is 3/8 ” thick and 15″ long.
US220 Glockenspiel/Bell Student - Black Plastic
The Glockenspiel/Bell Student stick is made with a small hard plastic mallet head best used on studnet glockenspiels. It is not recommended for xylophones or marimbas, as it will likely damage the bars because the plastic is too hard. The small size accomodates the small bar width found on most student bell sets. The hickory shaft is 3/8 ” thick and 14 1/2″ long.
US210 Xylophone Student - White Plastic
The Xylophone Student stick is an excellent choice for the new mallet player. The white plastic head is designed for the student xylophone but will also work well on a glockenspiel. The hickory shaft is 3/8 ” thick and 14 1/2″ long.
US200 Multi-Percussion Student - Green Rubber
The Multi-Percussion Student stick is an excellent choice for the all around percussionist. The green rubber head works well on most accessories such as wood blocks, cowbells, tom toms and is versatile enough to produce a pleasant sound on a glockenspiel or xylophones. The hickory shaft is 3/8 ” thick and 14 1/2″ long.
