Safe and secure checkout
The Vic Firth Robert van Sice M126 marimba mallets are a hard yarn model designed for players who need clear articulation, strong definition, and a more focused response across the instrument. Developed as part of the Robert van Sice range, the M126 is aimed at marimba players who want a harder mallet for passages where clarity, projection, and note detail matter.
Built with maple shafts and yarn heads, these mallets offer a controlled feel with the added precision expected from a harder marimba model. They are a useful option for advanced students, teachers, solo players, and ensemble percussionists looking for a mallet that can bring out a more direct, articulate sound.
At 432 mm in length, the M126 sits in a comfortable range for general marimba technique while still feeling purposeful and responsive in the hand.

Why Choose These Mallets?
The M126 is a sensible choice when you need a harder marimba mallet that keeps articulation clean and controlled. Compared with softer models, it is better suited to parts where note separation, attack, and rhythmic clarity are especially important.
Because it is part of the Robert van Sice range, it is also a strong option for players who want a more performance-focused mallet design rather than a basic general-purpose school model. The maple shaft helps give the mallet a direct feel, while the yarn head keeps it firmly in the marimba mallet category rather than moving into a very harsh keyboard sound.
This makes the M126 a useful addition to a broader mallet setup for players who need different hardness options depending on repertoire and register.
