The Jim Casella Series keyboard mallets are designed to the
specifications of leading marching percussion specialist, Jim Casella. This series has been designed to meet the
demands of both the indoor and outdoor marching percussion ensemble. Each marimba model features a rubber core for
maximum projection and the warmest fundamental tone. The IP1003X is a heavier version of the
IP1003, built with extra weight in the core and an oversized Birch handle
(11/32” diameter) to provide for a brighter articulation and extra
projection. All four models are wrapped
with a custom Synthetic yarn which offers a full, warm sound characteristic
with proven strength and durability. The
three vibraphone models, featuring Rattan handles, are constructed with rubber
cores in a variety of shapes and weights to extend the dynamic range of the
instrument. Tightly woven multi-ply
Synthetic cord results in increased articulations and durability for maximum
clarity and projection in both indoor and outdoor venues. The xylophone models feature Rattan handles
and a soft plastic core to produce a full, dark tone with maximum
projection. The IP1007 features an
over-sized core, while the IP1008 features a smaller core with added weight,
for better control. Both models produce
a similar timbre.
