Orpheus’s music was powerful enough to move rocks and trees. Our Lyra aims for the same energy. With a hybrid-plastic head that blends the characteristics of rubber and plastic, this mallet delivers surprising range. Play it soft and you’ll get a warm, round tone perfect for spots like Reh. 46 in Firebird; lean in and it’s punchy enough for the fast triplets in Kammermusik or that quirky solo in Polka. One mallet, a lot of voices.
