Salyers Percussion Kai Stensgaard Signature Soft Marimba Mallets are designed by world-renowned marimba artist Kai Stensgaard. This series features natural/unfinished birch shafts, rubber cores and a wool yarn wrap. The five models are graduated in hardness and weight. Kai is an accomplished 6-mallet player and has designed his mallets to be very manageable using either 4 or 6 mallet grip. The sound throughout the series is clear and warm. The white yarn provides excellent visual awareness for the performer and each model is color-coded for quick and easy identification.
 
Although designed for the professional player, many teachers and students prefer these mallets for their traditional weight and sound.
