Hello fellow percussionists and music educators!
My name is Jim McCarthy, & I'm going to solve your problem of expensive mallets. To find out how, just read through to the bottom of this page.
You will discover:
- The secrets of choosing different yarns for durability and different sounds. (pg 15)
- How to wind and sew off mallets in certain ways to achieve differences in sound and rigidity. (pg 16-20)
- The simple secrets to creating "TWO-TONE" mallet cores that commercial companies don't want you to know about.(pg 12-13)
- Inexpensive everyday items you can use for mallet cores, which last a long time and require little or no modification. (pg5-6)
- How to make Shafts for your mallets which are suitable for the instrument and mallet head. (pg 4,8,9)
- How to repair broken handles without replacing the whole mallet, & how to reinforce the shafts so they don't break in crucial moments of performance. (pg 21-22)
- The Secret Weapon almost no-body knows about, that will make your mallets sound rounder and more musical than even commercial mallets. (pg 7)
First though, let me tell you the story...
You see, I used to be just like you. I was a student percussionist with a passion for keyboard percussion. Eventually I got through a couple of music degrees and went on to teach in schools, where the problem of mallet expense is multiplied by the class size! But more on that later...
I remember buying my first pair of xylophone mallets - even 20 odd years ago they cost about $25. I remember being so pleased that at last I had "graduated" and at last had the tools I needed to play tuned percussion. Well as you can probably guess, that lasted about a month!
I wanted to play a piece on the marimba... "Not with THOSE mallets" said my teacher, "They're too hard - you need softer ones." So I purchased a second pair of softer (and slightly more expensive) mallets.
As I developed some ability it was time to graduate to using two mallets in each hand. I was a little panicked to discover that in fact I needed to buy three more pairs of mallets! Four mallets for marimba and another pair for xylophone - seems my previous pairs had seen a fair bit of work, and the windings were pretty much worn out.
This was starting to get expensive! More than I could really afford as a poor student.
Well to cut a long story short, over my student years I discovered that in order to cover a reasonable amount of repertoire on marimba xylophone and vibraphone, & get the various tones required, you needed an approximate minimum of thirteen pairs of mallets - not counting if you wanted your own mallets for glockenspiel or other instruments like that.
I also discovered that they needed to be replaced or repaired more often than I would have liked, and that everything seemed to get more expensive every time!

I made the decision to learn to make my own mallets. You see there were richer students who had different/more mallets than me, and I often found myself asking to borrow some of theirs to get a particular sound.
I hit the library and spent hours researching everything I could find on making mallets - it amounted to very little indeed, and I still wasn't much wiser.
I looked hard at the windings on my own mallets, and tried to work out how it was done - without much success. I also knew that different mallets had different centers under the windings, but I didn't know much about that either.
About then I had a breakthrough.
One of my friends had an almost new set of expensive mallets but broke one of the shafts. He threw it in the bin, and I retrieved it.
Over the next several weeks, I carefully unwound that mallet and studied the winding in detail. I practiced re-creating it on a dummy mallet I'd made myself, until I was confident that I'd figured out most of the variables and could get it right from scratch.
At last I was able to repair the windings on some of my worn out mallets which I couldn't have otherwise used.
Over the next few years I gained a lot of experience creating mallets.
Here are some of the things I experimented with and learned a great deal about.
- The secrets of choosing different yarns for durability and different sounds. (pg 15)
- How to wind and sew off mallets in certain ways to achieve differences in sound and rigidity. (pg 16-20)
- The simple secrets to creating "TWO-TONE" mallet cores that commercial companies don't want you to know about.(pg 12-13)
- Inexpensive everyday items you can use for mallet cores, which last a long time and require little or no modification. (pg5-6)
- How to make Shafts for your mallets which are suitable for the instrument and mallet head. (pg 4,8,9)
- How to repair broken handles without replacing the whole mallet, & how to reinforce the shafts so they don't break in crucial moments of performance. (pg 21-22)
- The Secret Weapon almost no-body knows about, that will make your mallets sound rounder and more musical than even commercial mallets. (pg 7)
Pretty soon I had the biggest and fanciest range of cool mallets in town
I had a MUCH bigger range than you could even buy in the shops!
You see, now that I could create a whole set of four mallets for well under 10 bucks, there was no real limits for me. If I wanted a slightly different sound or feel in my mallets for a certain piece - I simply made a special set of mallets to suit.
Many of these mallets (although certainly not all) I still have today. Have a look at my current collection - most of these were made by me, and could just as easily be made by YOU.
Many of these mallets you couldn't even buy in a shop if you wanted to - they are custom designed. Even if you could though, a rough estimate of the shop value of this collection is about $1520. They cost me roughly $190 to make.
Here's how YOU can also save mega-bucks by creating your own unique & professional mallets for tuned percussion Without a painful learning curve.
Now YOU can profit from all my research, experience and experimentation by making your own collection of mallets. With this new Guide to making percussion mallets, you will instantly have all the information you need to create any type of mallet using inexpensive everyday materials.
You'll be able to replace broken or split handles on any mallet without destroying the head, and you'll discover the very best way to prevent handles from breaking again.
When you own this mallet making guide, your windings will be tougher so they won't fray, and you'll soon have a wide variety of special purpose mallets and multi-tone mallets to perfectly suit any instrument, and any situation.
Your guide to making mallets can save you hundreds of dollars and you'll recoup the cost in just one pair of mallets!
Here's just some of the stuff you'll find in your mallet making guide.

You'll be able to download it instantly in your choice of formats at the same time as you download the mallet making guide.
