The new Freer Percussion Cloyd Duff #4 legato/general model is a more legato/softer general than the Duff 3. This new replica version of the Cloyd Duff series features a 13.5 American hickory shaft with a CNC machined felt core at a very specific durometer to match the originals. The cartwheel covering is soft German felt (thicker than FPCD #3), tightly sewn for a super clean sound, yet producing a softer and warmer/darker tone than the FPCD3 mallets. The hickory shaft compared to bamboo offers a completely different balance, feel and rebound off the head. Even the nuts on these new models are replicas of the originals, made on CNC for consistency and precision. Excellent for Tchaikovsky, Mahler, Brahms, Sibelius, Bruckner, Strauss and Wagner among many others. Warm and round but still an excellent legato general mallet. A necessity for all students and professional timpanists who desire a mallet that has been used and proven for over 75 years. An incredibly versatile, handmade replica timpani mallet made to last. These are the only authentic reproductions of Duffs original set of mallets available exclusively from Freer Percussion direct.
