T1-Chamois, Extra Hard





T1- Chamois Extra Hard pair on a 15.25 inch bamboo handle with a 1.25 inch maple core. Best used for very articulate passages or as a substitute for times when the score calls for "wood".



T2-Parachute, Medium Hard, orange trim





T2- Medium Hard German felt parachute pair on a 1.25 inch core. Bamboo handle is 15.25 inches and the trim color is orange. Best used as a hard general for solo etudes or orchestral passages for those players most comfortable with a ball-style wrap.



T3- Cartwheel, Medium Hard, blue trim





T3- Medium Hard General with an American felt, cartwheel style wrap and blue trim. Bamboo handle is 15.25 inches and the maple core is 1.25 inches. Excellent for solo etudes or orchestral passages where some articulation is needed as well as some legato rolls.



T4- Medium General, Cartwheel, red trim





T4- Medium General cartwheel, German felt with red trim. Excellent small rolling mallet with a 1" wood core. Best used for classic to modern repertoire where a medium articulation is needed. Also good for solo works or percussion ensemble settings.



T5 & T6- Soft General, green or purple trim





T5 & T6, Medium General cartwheel or parachute with a 1.25" maple core. German felts are used to create this 15.5 inch rolling mallet. Best used for Romantic to modern symphonies by Brahms, Tchaikovsky, Sibelius or similar. Although this is the softest mallet in the series, it can produce a robust sound and moderate articulation when needed. T5 has green trim and T6 has purple.



TMC1- Michael Crusoe Signature Series





TMC1- Michael Crusoe Signature Series, extra hard cartwheel with billiard felt. Excellent option when clear articulation is called for in an orchestral or wind band setting. The 1.25" maple core is set on a 15.25" bamboo handle and buffered with chamois and billiard felt. Wonderful addition to your arsenal of "hard" mallets.



TMC2- Michael Crusoe Signature Series





TMC2- Michael Crusoe Signature Series on bamboo. 15.25" in length. Medium hard brown wool billiard felt over a wood core with felt buffer. Beautiful addition to your lineup for Classical repertoire.



TMC3- Michael Crusoe Signature Series





TMC3- Michael Crusoe Signature Series on bamboo. 15.25" in length with a smaller, 1" wood core. Medium hardness with black wool billiard felt and multiple buffer layers. Nice addition to your Classical repertoire arsenal for when you need articulation with a round tone.



TMC4- Michael Crusoe Signature Series





TMC4- Michael Crusoe Signature Series on bamboo. 15.25" in length with a wood core and German felt, sewn with hard edges. Medium soft hardness. Similar in scope to the T5 model but with a smaller core and modified finishes. Great balanced rolling mallet for Brahms or Sibelius symphonies.



All models are cut to 15.25 inches in length but can be altered upon request.

Other slight modifications can also be considered but changes to the basic design may encounter additional charges.
