Seán Hooper BP1 25mm Wood Ball Timpani Mallets

A solid wooden ball head, with no felt, for aggressive playing. Ideally suited to Baroque or early Classical pieces, and matched with a lightweight handle for better balance. For a similarly hard stick with less contact noise, see the BP2, BP6 and BP7. Only 25mm across.

Individually hand-matched, straightened, polished and finished bamboo handles, with a top-quality hard wax oil finish, designed to balance well in your hand.
Covering basic head-types required by timpani students, from a beechwood head, a baize-covered head and varying thicknesses and sizes of felt-covered heads. Top quality timpani felt is used, so the sound quality is not compromised. Felt and baize-covered sticks come with the option to request a cork centre instead of wood, to help players using calf skin, fibreglass bowl or hand tuned Timpani, where the lighter weight is often preferable.
