Key Features
The Yamaha Keiko Abe Signature MKA-08 Yarn Wound Mallets are ideal for marimba players looking for a rich, resonant tone in the lower registers. Developed with Keiko Abe, these mallets feature a yarn head and a very soft core design to draw maximum warmth and depth from the instrument. A dual-core with a 2mm rubber tube enhances touch and expressiveness, making it easier to shape dynamic swells and soft textures.
With a 430mm rattan shaft, the mallets offer a comfortable, flexible feel that allows smooth control across a wide range of dynamics. Their heavier build ensures full resonance from each tone bar, providing an ideal balance between softness and projection. The MKA-08 mallets are perfect for advanced marimba performances that call for delicate phrasing and rich tonal colour.
