Mallets

The James Ancona series is designed specifically for use in both indoor
and outdoor marching ensembles. These mallets introduce a new dowel,
sealed with a unique finish for improved grip during playing. Designed to
complement other Innovative Percussion keyboard mallets used in marching
situations, these new mallets will offer darker, warmer sound choices and a
different feel for the marching keyboard percussionists. The extra-durable
synthetic yarn is black and the multi-ply cord is dark red.

IP2001 - An extra soft yarn mallet, ideal for smooth, dark rolls
IP2002 - This soft yarn mallet has just a bit of core sound - this is a nice
               general purpose solo mallet
IP2003 - This medium yarn mallet speaks well throughout the entire range
               of the instrument
IP2004 - This hard yarn mallet is great for general use outdoors - it has
               great cutting power in the upper range of the marimba
IP2005 - A medium-soft cord mallet - just a bit brighter than the IP2003
IP2006 - This medium-hard cord mallet is excellent for general purpose
               use on vibes or marimba

               register marimba and vibraphone
