These are handmade mallets crafted by percussionist Shigeharu Eiso, specifically for the marimba. The V-1 model delivers the hard and bright tone required for modern music. The V-2 builds upon the V-1's core structure, becoming a versatile model capable of producing soft harmonies. The X-82 is designed for suspended cymbals, significantly enhancing expressive power through the exquisite balance of a slightly heavier head and a 31.5 cm long handle. This classic model from the Saito brand is widely used by everyone from students to professional orchestral percussionists.
