Seán Hooper BP2 Baize Covered Very Hard Timpani Mallets

Covered in a double layer of hard baize felt, this stick is still very hard, but makes less contact-noise than the BP1, with slightly less attack. It is centred on a wood or cork wheel, and measures 28.5mm across. Lightweight bamboo handles complete this stick. Excellent for much of the brass band repertoire.

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.
