The weight and balance of the XyloM-9 mallets provides ideal balance for all kinds of high spirited, bright and lively Xylophone parts. From George Gershwin's Porgy and Bess or An American In Paris, to Aaron Copeland compositions, to Loony Tunes sound tracks and music scores of all kinds.
The XyloM-9's are designed for fast speaking, articulate performances so often part of colorful Xylophone parts and compositions. Ron Vaughn Xylophone mallets provide a bright, crisp keyboard attack, enhancing the naturally brilliant sound of many Xylophone keyboards.
