Vic Firth M6 xylophone mallets for concert use
The Vic Firth M6 is a xylophone mallet that is also suitable for general use on glockenspiel. This model has a hard 1 inch phenolic ball and produces a full, bright sound, helping notes speak clearly in concert settings.
At 16 inches long, this mallet comes in a familiar size for players looking for direct response on xylophone and glockenspiel. The hard build makes it especially useful when clarity and projection matter.
Construction of the Vic Firth M6
Vic Firth bases these models on 50 years of experience as timpanist with the Boston Symphony Orchestra. The mallet is made using a production method that does not require a screw to secure the head.
The black head is made of phenolic material and the handle is birch. That makes the Vic Firth M6 a focused choice for players who need a hard mallet for concert repertoire on glockenspiel and xylophone.
