The Vic Firth Robert Van Sice Keyboard Mallets represent a refined approach to percussion articulation, designed for players seeking versatility across pitched keyboard instruments. Robert Van Sice's signature series balances precision with tonal warmth, making these mallets equally at home in classical vibraphone passages or contemporary mallet percussion writing. The medium-soft synthetic core construction delivers controlled attack without sacrificing resonance across the full instrument range.
Built with a synthetic core rather than yarn wrap, these mallets respond predictably across dynamic ranges whilst maintaining clear articulation on both hard and resonant surfaces. The medium-soft specification sits between delicate expression and definition, offering musicians the flexibility to voice chord voicings without muffling the instrument's natural sustain. Vic Firth's construction ensures consistent performance across pairs, critical for players who require matched tone when alternating hands across registers or executing rapid melodic figures on keyboard percussion.
