Acoustic Percussion Henry Baldwin HB-G2 Glockenspiel Mallets Pair - Linen Phenolic Heavy (HB-G2)

The Acoustic Percussion HB-G2 is a Henry Baldwin signature glockenspiel mallet designed for players who want a very bright glockenspiel sound while keeping more body and weight in the note than a lighter model. It uses a linen phenolic head with brass weight and a rattan handle, giving strong projection and a controlled feel for orchestral playing.

This model is a good choice when the glockenspiel needs to stay bright and clear but still cut through louder textures with a fuller sound.

Pack format: Sold as a pair.
