JG Percussion Michael Oberaigner MO7 Timpani Mallets
JG Percussion
All of the JG Percussion mallets in the Michael Oberaigner Signature series are made by hand from strong, hand-selected bamboo that is perfectly balanced and expertly matched.
Mallets with a ball-stick design (MO 1-5) are hand-sewn with the highest quality soft German felt. Models MO 6-10 feature layers of leather, sponge, and soft flannel.
Models MO 1-5 are made from bamboo 10mm in diameter, and models MO 6-10 are made from bamboo 11mm in diameter. Each stick is about 37cm long, and each mallet comes fitted with green mallet grips.
MO7 "Schwammschlägel" Small
Re-created from 1849, these "Sponge-headed" mallets were originally designed by Felix Mendelssohn’s timpanist, Ernst Pfunt. A small composite core, covered with a layer of sponge then wrapped with liner felt. A truly unique sound.
"The sound is very direct – it can be soft enough to blend in, and warm enough for rolls – you can also be very articulated, and go over the whole orchestra if you need. I like these for Mendelssohn Italian Symphony." – Michael Oberaigner
