Vic Firth Articulate Series Keyboard Mallets M427

Achieve sharp, cutting projection and pristine clarity on synthetic and wooden bars with the Vic Firth Articulate Series M427 Keyboard Mallets. Designed to replace and elevate classic hard-head mallet designs, the M427 features a 1-1/4" round urethane head that delivers a bright, full-bodied tone without damaging delicate xylophone or marimba bars.

Key Features: 1-1/4" Round Urethane Head: Formulated to offer a punchy, bright attack that brings out fundamental pitch clarity on xylophones, marimbas, and crotales. Premium Birch Handles: Provides uniform weight distribution, rigidity, and smooth balance for rapid two-mallet execution. Articulate Series Engineering: Designed specifically to cover the full spectrum of acoustic projection needed in modern concert bands, orchestras, and pit percussion ensembles. Bar-Safe Material: Urethane head composition produces bright, clear articulation while remaining gentle on rosewood, padauk, and synthetic bars.
