A. PUTNAM MALLETS
TIMPANI

Timpani Models use high quality bamboo poles, which are carefully selected for matching diameter, weight, balance and pitch. Joints and skins are lightly sanded and finished for smoothness, but left intact to preserve the bamboo's natural strength. Length of handles will vary from pair to pair between 15-16". Diameters come in three basic sizes: SM (29/64"), Med (1/2"), & LG (9/16"). 100% German wool felts are precisely split and hand sewn around cores. Medium soft felt is used for models T3, T4, and T5 (cartwheel wraps) and extra soft felt is used for models T2 and T6 (parachute wraps).

T1 Chamois, Ultra Staccato cartwheel wrap; large wood core
T2 Orange, Stacatto parachute wrap; large wood core
T3 Blue, Articulate General, cartwheel wrap; large wood core
T4 Red, Small Medium General, cartwheel wrap; small wood core
