The Vic Firth Ensemble series M151 soft latex wrapped marimba mallets provide the full-bodied voice in the lower third of the instrument for the choir of sounds in any keyboard ensemble. Slightly less thick than the M150, the M151 provides a much more versatile mallet in the low registers of instruments but can climb to higher ranges and fit appropriately into the Ensemble series of mallets. Rattan handles were chosen for this series to increase rebound and improve how the mallets play and feel.
