SCHLAGKRAFT Master-Level Marimba Mallets Coming Soon — Pre-Orders Welcome
Developed by marimba master Nebojša Jovan Živković, these SCHLAGKRAFT mallets are crafted in Vienna with more than 30 years of performance experience and deep expertise.
This is the Sri Lanka F series piano hammer developed by Marimba master Nebojsa Jovan Zivkovic! Produced by SchlagKraft Company in Vienna, it is meticulously crafted with excellent quality and authoritative knowledge, and condensed over 30 years of performance experience and the use of a large number of materials to try and study tones to produce these unique and noble Sri Lanka F master-level piano hammers. The hammer combines the artists' concepts and needs for tone, with a total of two types of hammers, vine and wood, each with eight models. The wooden hammer is made of spruce wood selected by experts, ensuring that each hammer has the same sense of weight balance and elasticity, and the hammer is relatively thick. The other type of hammer uses high-quality vine strips. The hammerhead is wrapped with special synthetic fiber wire, which is durable and has excellent touch sensitivity. Each type of hammer is divided into three vocal groups. We use special rubber cores of different hardness and choose hammers with wire layers wrapped in different colors and materials.

Product characteristics
1. Dark gray (soft)
He is good at weak rolling performance and melodic line expression in the bass range. The tone is full, thick, soft, but always clear and not muddy. His perfect weight is enough to express beautiful tones and balance, and at the same time, he can play powerful and resonant bass.
2. Ocean blue (medium soft)
Although it is in the same group as the No. 1 hammer, it has a more superior touch feel. Compared with the No. 1 hammer, the sound quality is slightly clearer, which is very suitable for use with the No. 1 hammer as a high-pitched hammer.
3. Jasmine purple (general vocal soft)
Among the three GENERAL series hammers, this one is softer and is very suitable for strong and resonant tones, but it will not be too hard. It is good at expressing clear melodic lines and wonderful chord rolls.
4. Elite Blue (Universal Voice Part All-round Hammer)
The No. 4 mallet is a standard of all-round general performance Marimba Mallets, which covers all the ranges of the instrument and is good at expressing loud and clear and powerful sounds.
5. Clear blue (general vocal part hard)
It will not be too hard, but it can always maintain a strong volume and clear tone. It is specially designed for emotionally rich modern works and highly expressive performances, and can also be used for some gentle melodies with weak tones, which have a good effect when combined with orchestras.
6. Liquid silver (super hard)
Do you like a strong sound? Then this is the hammer you want. A sufficiently large hammer head can help the last row of the concert hall audience feel the musical details expressed by the performance.
7. Goldfinch (Orchestra solo Marimba Xylophone special hard)
An indoor orchestra or symphony orchestra that can achieve sharpness while still being well-colored and with enough volume to penetrate the accompaniment is definitely a challenge. However, the NJZ-7 can do it!
8. Cloud white multi-tones (soft/hard change with the intensity)
When you need to play both weak rolls and strong notes with tension in modern works at the same time, this is the most suitable hammer. Because it can gradually advance the intensity performance from weak to strong. When it is weak, it is soft like the No. 2 hammer, and when it is strong, it is hard like the No. 6 hammer.

This link video is of Central Conservatory of Music Professor of Percussion Zhang Jingli playing the SchlagKraft master Marimba drumstick to perform the Marimba solo "Sight". This work was adapted and created on the advice of Mr. Jin Jiguang, the chairman of the Chinese Percussion Society. The melody is based on the original ballet "Confucius" of the Chinese Opera and Dance Theater, originally titled "Cai Wei". Later, it was adapted by Zhang Jingli into a Marimba solo: "Sight". I hope to expand Chinese musical elements and promote Chinese traditional culture in the field of Western percussion. This song was created during this special period, thinking of my loved ones and praying for peace. Sight - I am sincerely proud of the strength and pride of the Chinese people, touched by the dedication of medical staff, and proud of the prosperity of the great motherland.
"Looking Far Away" comes from: "Book of Songs · Xiaoya · Picking Wei"
"Looking far away" means wishes, hopes and longing.
