Acoustic Percussion Henry Baldwin HB-G3 Glockenspiel Mallets Pair - Black Poly Light (HB-G3)

The Acoustic Percussion HB-G3 is a Henry Baldwin signature glockenspiel mallet designed as a highly versatile option for players covering multiple tuned percussion parts. It uses a black poly head with brass weight and a rattan handle, producing a bright tone with a more controlled attack in softer dynamics.

This model is especially useful when you need one mallet to handle glockenspiel, crotales, and xylophone-style passages in the same setup. The slightly textured head surface helps create a more nuanced response, making it a strong choice for orchestral and multi-percussion work.

Pack format: Sold as a pair.
