Chalklin MS9L Xylophone Mallets - Soft Rosewood 25mm (CMS9L)

A warm-voiced xylophone pair with 25 mm soft rosewood heads designed to bring out natural bar tone without excess attack. The slightly longer 365 × 6 mm shafts give comfortable reach and control for orchestral, wind band, theatre pit, and education.

Key Features

• Soft rosewood heads (25 mm): gentle, woody articulation with clear pitch

• 365 mm shaft / 6 mm diameter: balanced feel for accurate placement

• Made for rosewood bars: preserves colour and reduces contact noise

• Sold as a pair; part of the MS series covering rubber, plastics, and rosewood options

• Crafted to Chalklin's long-standing standards (est. 1971)

Why Choose the MS9L

Pick MS9L when you want lyrical lines, softer dynamics, and warmer timbre on rosewood xylophones-ideal as a contrast to harder rubber or plastic pairs. Excellent for delicate orchestral textures and passages requiring control without brittleness.
