I know I used the Ludwig Albert mallets, but I cannot remember what configuration they were. It was a mixture of orange and yellows. I think I had mallets 1-2-3 as orange and the 4th mallet as a yellow. I think I tried 1 orange and 2-3-4 as yellow but it was way too abrasive and loud. I did a mallet series switch from the Zeltsmans about a week before this performance because I needed something that could cut better in the hall without beating the crap out of the marimba. The Alberts have a ton of weight and allow you to get more volume without pounding the keys.
What malt did you use?
