The Duff 8 is an essential wood timpani mallet. Highest grade American hickory which is pre selected for weight and pitch before it’s even turned. Classic bulb shaped head for excellent head contact whether playing timpani flat or tilted. Laser engraved, hand sanded, hand pitched/weighed and six layers of finish. Recommended for any timpani passages/repertoire requiring wood sticks. Extremely hard.
The Duff 9 is essentially the same wood end as the Duff 8 but also has a dual end which has a small felt covered ball. Perfect for people who like a flip stick more than a 50/50 choice such as the DSWF model. The felt end is in a general hardness. Laser engraved, hand sanded, hand pitched/weighed and six layers of finish. Recommended for Don Juan, Mahler 2, Carter March, Enigma Variations etc. Extremely hard, flipped to general on the other end.
The Duff 10 model was loosely based on Cloyd Duff’s hand made mallets used on his legendary Hindemith Symphonic Metamorphosis recording. A basic pair of wood sticks was used in the recording session with a thin layer of felt tied on very quickly and crudely. Cloyd wanted to have something available like that, which was extremely bright but more thoughtfully covered so we decided on this chamois version of that stick. Shaft is similar to the 8 but a different turned end 1″ in diameter and covered with extremely tight chamois. Laser engraved, hand sanded, hand pitched/weighed and six layers of finish. Recommended for any early classic or Baroque work, Haydn Handel, Mozart etc. Very bright and articulate, one level below raw wood.
