The Stay-Put Timpani Mute is a uniquely-designed timpani mute that will not creep; even when the drum is played fortissimo for an extended period of time. Yet it can be quickly removed and the degree of muffling and placement of the timpani mute can be infinitely adjusted.

The Stay-Put Timpani Mute also works well on a tom-tom, tenor drum, field drum, snare drum, or any upright drum you feel may need muffling.

The Guatemalan Malletote is hand-made by indigenous Guatemalan artisans living in remote villages.  The fabric is made on small hand looms and stitching is done on sewing machines powered by a foot treadle.

The fabric of each malletote contains a variety of patterns.  Each patch is a native pattern distincitve of a particular group, village or locale.  Since the loomers constantly change the mix of patterns as they make the fabric, no two Malletotes are alike.  Each is unique.
