The David Friedman Series vibraphone and marimba mallets were designed for internationally acclaimed percussionist, composer, and educator, David Friedman. The marimba mallets are cord-wrapped, while the vibraphone models are wrapped with a synthetic yarn, and all models are built on rattan handles.   The DF30L LIGHT VIBRAPHONE mallet is ideal for players who prefer a lighter weight mallet that still creates a full sound. It is perfect for solo playing, yet can create rich tonality needed for a soft ballad.
