1" phenolic ball with brass insert. Bright, clear and full-bodied sound. Great go-to stick for tons of rep—think Mother Goose, Mahler Symphonies, etc. Same core as the 1B on fiberglass but with the added mass of a heavier brass insert and rattan handle.
All of Dragonfly Percussion keyboard mallets are made with the highest quality Indonesian rattan handles. They are all 7-7.5mm (+/-) in diameter (approx. 9/32”) at the butt-end and 13 1/8” in length. Each pair is hand-selected to ensure both mallets are extremely straight and matched in both diameter and flex. We then categorize the pairs to best suit the various models of mallets we make.
