Yamaha Keiko Abe MKA-05

Yamaha Keiko Abe MKA-05 - mallets for marimba designed in close collaboration with Keiko Abe, are intended to enhance both the performer’s technique and the tone of the instrument in compositions that require exceptional technique. Ideal for advanced players, these mallets are significantly heavier than standard ones. This allows the marimba bars to resonate fully, creating a sound that has been difficult to achieve until now. The round heads made of textile yarn are heavier than standard mallets but are fully capable of providing delicate expression.
