"Tom has again come out with a product that
sounds great and is made of the highest quality in his Freer line
of xylophone and glockenspiel mallets. The rattan is the best that
I have seen; thin, but rigid and straight. All of the mallets in
the set produce no contact sound with the bar and, at the same time,
produce a full fundamental for the note being played. I would highly
recommend any of the mallets in this line to the professional or
student looking for consistency in craftsmanship and the highest
quality of sound."
