Colin Currie Signature Series
The Colin Currie Signature Series was created as a simple and straightforward mallet line, representing a focused, polished approach to sound. This is a light weight series with flexibility in feel and touch to give access to the entire dynamic range of the keyboard. Colin's versatile mallets encourage spontaneity, as each can be used with great force or delicacy without any unsatisfactory change in timbre. This series contains four models, featuring one unwrapped mallet and three wrapped mallets. All available in both birch or rattan handles.
In pursuit of the perfect sound, we worked with mallet percussionists for many years to learn what qualities they expected most from their "go-to" mallets. To meet these needs, we decided to design all of our own mallet heads, as well as invent and patent our own mallet wrapping machine that simultaneously wraps two individual pieces of yarn - wool or synthetic. This gives us the ability to individually control the tension on each of the yarns and the angle of the wrap. As a result, we have crafted some of the best mallets in the world ideally suited for keyboard percussion.
By varying the tension of each yarn during the winding process, choosing wool or synthetic fibers, and selecting the wrap style, we are able to create an endless number of sound options. Our M1 Mallets for marimba and vibes are offered in four distinct series: Signature Artist Series, the original Double Helix™ Series, the beloved Wave Wrap™ line, and our very popular lightweight mallet with warmth and articulation - the Round Sound™.
