Bright and articulate.
The Duff 10 model was loosely based on Cloyd Duff’s handmade mallets used on his legendary Hindemith Symphonic Metamorphosis recording. A basic pair of wood sticks was used in the recording session with a thin layer of felt tied on very quickly and crudely. Cloyd wanted something available like that, which was extremely bright but more thoughtfully covered, so we decided on this chamois version of that stick. The shaft is similar to the 8 but with a different turned end 1″ in diameter and covered with extremely tight chamois. Laser engraved, hand-sanded, hand-pitched/weighed, and six layers of finish. Recommended for any early classical or Baroque work, Haydn, Handel, Mozart, etc. Very bright and articulate, one level below raw wood.
