Popplers Music Now Proudly Carries Malletech — Professional Mallets for Percussionists in North Dakota and South Dakota
At Popplers Music, we believe every musician deserves world‑class tools. We’re thrilled to announce that Malletech — a respected name in premium keyboard percussion mallets — is now part of our product lineup. Since 1982, Malletech has built a reputation for craftsmanship, innovation, and consistent timbral response. Now percussionists across the Midwest can try them in person at Popplers Music in North Dakota and South Dakota.
Why Malletech Stands Out
1. Complex Response Characteristics
Malletech’s multi‑toned models are designed to respond to your dynamic range by subtly changing their timbre as stroke velocity increases. At softer dynamics, they produce a mellow tone, while at higher velocities they brighten and project more aggressively. This is achieved through advanced winding techniques, multiple under-layers, and tension control.
💡 Looking for mallets that keep up with every nuance of your playing? Visit Popplers Music in Grand Forks or Sioux Falls and try Malletech for yourself.
2. Variety for Every Playing Style
Whether you prefer a consistent single-tone mallet, a gradual transitioning multi-tone, or a more dramatic two-tone (often designated as “Z” models), Malletech offers options for marimba, vibraphone, xylophone, and bells. malletech.com+1
3. Durable Head‑to‑Handle Construction
Almost every Malletech marimba, xylophone, and bell model uses a “glued and screwed” connection: the head has a tapped thread that matches a threaded handle. This doubles the glue contact area and produces a mechanically stronger bond than glue-only designs.

4. Custom Yarns and Longevity
The yarns Malletech uses are custom designed, spun, and wound for specific tonal goals—whether minimal contact noise, better projection, or durability. Notably, Malletech claims that no pair of Concerto Series mallets have ever been returned due to fraying, and some made in the 1980s are still in use. malletech.com+1
5. Model Numbering System
Every Malletech model has a number that reflects its brightness (apparent hardness) at maximum volume. The scale runs from 0 (extremely soft) to 50 (extremely hard). This helps players quickly gauge relative brightness across mallets.
