Pro-Mark is proud to have Jim Wunderlich as an endorser and signature artist. His mallet series with System Blue should not be considered for marching alone. While they have durable components for outdoor environments, the lush tone of these mallets is an appropriate and tasteful choice for indoor concert or marching settings.
The JW5 is a great choice if you're looking for a light and easily-maneuvered mallet that can be used for the high register of the marimba, as well as on vibes. It features a round synthetic core with brass inserts and a layer of latex wrapped in synthetic yarn. The JW5 provides maximum articulation. Finished birch handles have an ultra-smooth finish with a silky texture that feels similar to rattan but without the level of flexibility.
