This mallet is almost too useful to be classified as a specialty mallet. The very small cork core produces the lightest tone of all Hills' mallets, and the premium German felt is wrapped specifically to allow a soft articulation below mezzopiano, but sharper articulation above that range.
These mallets are at their best when rolling softly on an E flat or higher on the Third and Fourth Drum. Or for works lighter in orchestral colour but requiring an articulate forte - such as Mozart or Mendelssohn.
