I used them for Mahler 1, and the sound had amazing depth and worked extremely well along side the symphony's set of Clevelanders.

The restoration on these drums is absolutely amazing, and I'm looking forward to enjoying these for a very long time. Thanks again, Shannon!"

The marimba we bought was shipped across the country without problems, arrived in good shape, and sounds wonderful. Thank you to Shannon and The Malletshop. "

"Whenever I play my Deagan Electravibe, it feels like I'm at the control center of a spaceship."

"I had been looking for a pair of tympani for my son, Joshua for several months. I could not find anything with the quality I wanted in the price range I could pay. At Malletshop.com I found an outstanding value on a pair of excellent, high quality tympani and Shannon went above and beyond the call of duty to make sure that the drums arrived in time for my son's birthday and in great condition. Thanks for everything and when I'm ready for our next purchase we'll be back."

"I was the first musician in Romania to get professional level accreditation as a vibraphone player. I had been playing on a vibe I found sitting in a dusty corner of the community cultural. This "thing" was made of alumininum and thoroughly out of tune. After the development of the Internet in Romania, I was able to search on the net for vibes and get in touch with jazz musicians around the world to learn more about instruments and shops that might sell vibraphones. I badly needed a new instrument. With a little help from a friend in California and lots of help and understanding from MalletShop, after 20 years I was finally able to fulfill a lifetime dream; to own a vibraphone that was functional and not out of tune.

"My son Chris has played these timpani at our church services on Sundays and has received praise from the music directory and from many members of the congregation on how good they've sounded. Thanks to Mallet Shop for helping make this dream come true."

"I have known of and used MalletShop almost since its inception. In those years I and my orchestra have done over $30,000 worth of buying and selling percussion instruments, including the Hingers pictured. I cannot say enough good things about Shannon and his team at Malletshop. The customer service and quality of the instruments are fantastic! I look forward to a long association with Malletshop and I can unreservedly recommend them as your first source for superb percussion instruments. "

"I was in desperate need of a new marimba for the studio where I teach. I had done a good bit of research on what full size 4.3 keyboards could fit our budget, last over time, and of course-produce a great tone. I had read great reviews on the 4.3 Vancore Padauk and decided that it was the instrument we would purchase. After shopping around a bit, Malletshop.com had BY FAR the best prices on brand new Vancore Marimbas. I (and my students) couldn't ask for anything more. Many of them have commented on how much better it looks and sounds than the other keyboards I previously had in the studio (Musser M300, Yamaha YM2400). I was extremely impressed by the quality: Solid Ash endpieces and rails, Thick metal tubing for all frame parts, etc. Thank you malletshop!"
