Well made for the price and they work very well for the kids to use.
Great for the price
December 14, 2015
For as cheap as these things are, they worked great. I picked up a small glockenspiel at the local salvation army for $15 and wanted to see if it sounded any good. These were just the things needed for fun little jam sessions with my roommates. I cant imagine they would be any good on anything large, but for the small metal bars, it works great
Great!

Way better than these other plastic yellow mallets I had. I use them for a glockenspiel and they have a really nice sound to them!

Nice mallets. Don't expect to hit full size drums with these, the sticks are short. I use it for glockenspiel and it gives a nice sound. The sticks are a stiff, yet flexible plastic.
Good mallets for the price

I bought these to use on an old wooden key xylophone I am trying to restore. They are sturdy built and tap the keys well. I do prefer them over the wooden mallets because of the softer sound

October 9, 2016
I've bought several pairs of these mallets. They work fine for my purposes (i.e. child's toy wooden drum), but note that they are shorter than professional mallets and the balls are pretty hard.

Quality is there, They seem more for a small child's toy xylophone than a percussion instrument in a school band.I bought them by mistake thinking they were larger (my fault).

June 22, 2015
These have held together well through a year of being played with by multiple children. The heads have stayed on nicely and never fallen off and the handles have held up just fine. My kids aren't rough with them, so that probably helps. We bought them to use on a set of Boomwhackers as well as on a wooden children's xylophone we have. I like that the heads are durable rubberized material rather than just a hard, wooden ball. It's a little gentler on the Boomwhackers and other things they bang on.

Way too short
August 20, 2016
These mallets were way too short. If you wanted short mallets they're great for you! They are very nice and comfortable to hold.
Soft plastic drum sticks, look elsewhere.
June 26, 2016
These were great when first purchased. After a few months the plastic sticks are showing discoloration from repeated bending. I'll be surprised if they last a year.
8 1/2 inch mallets, not 12 inch as in the description
November 12, 2015
For the price, they're a nice pair of toy mallets. The title is correct - these are 8 1/2 inch mallets from tip to tail. Do not make the mistake (like I did) and go by the description which says they're 12 inch mallets. I was looking for 12 inch mallets, which is why the "ok" review.
About 4" shorter than standard size mallets.
September 27, 2014
Should have paid much more attention to the specifications. The mallets are only 8 1/2" inches long. Not knowing this length was not standard size, I ordered this product for my son who just started playing the Glockenspiel. Turns out these mallets are about 3-4" shorter than the standard size mallets that came with the glockenspiel.

Wrong kind of mallets?
November 23, 2015
I guess the mallets are just fine, the problem is that I probably bought the wrong kind of mallets since my xylophone barely makes sound when I play it with them :/
You get what you pay for.
August 5, 2015
This item was ordered because of it's affordability, but since having it, I've found it to be of little use. Not only do they make no sounds at all when in use, but the rubber seems to be made of the cheapest stuff on earth. It's worth exactly what I paid for, $6.01!

January 10, 2016
These bent very easily when my daughter was using them. I would go with another product if you want something that will last.
Not quite loud enough for my needs.
February 7, 2015
I bought these to replace a wooden mallet that came with a Zen Chime I had purchased earlier. Unfortunately, these do not provide a sharp enough sound for my needs. (I use the chimes in a sixth grade classroom for transitions) I will keep them for back up, but I was a bit disappointed to be honest.
They sound terrible on the instrument
November 17, 2014
These are definitely a toy. They are no where near 12 inches long may 7 inches long. They sound terrible on the instrument. Don't waste your money, not even worth using as toys, I don't think they would hold up to being played with.
Smaller than you may think
July 9, 2014
These are tiny. I just assumed they would be the same size as the practice mallets that come with the bell kits, but they are almost half as short. They would probably work fine for a child 10 years old and under, but for middle schoolers, these are pretty small. I'm a small adult female and these were a little too small for me to the point of being frustrated. Maybe if you want to have some mallets on hand for when students forget theirs at home, these would be some good "punishment mallets": they can still participate, but it won't be too enjoyable so that kids are purposely leaving their mallets at home to use yours.

They don't work on bells
August 31, 2017
I bought these to use on a child bell set as replacement mallets for a Let's Play Music class. I was very disappointed that the plastic or rubber ends aren't hard enough to produce sound. They look great, but don't work on bells.

October 13, 2014
My son bought these on my Amazon account, thinking they were actual mallets for an actual xylophone. They are not. They are tiny, made of cheap plastic and have no heft at all. They are worth a few pennies. His mistake, apparently. Buyer beware. Read carefully.
I can't use these.
May 13, 2014
What you need to know about these:The sticks are made of plastic. These are essentially kids' toys though I wouldn't give anyone such a poor quality mallet, whatever their age.
