Abstract:
A mallet for a percussion musical instrument which includes a shaft and a head portion. The head portion includes a cylindrical core and an annular sound ridge and a yarn covering encasing the core and sound ridge. Both the core and sound ridge are constructed of laminar layers of sheet material alternating with layers of adhesive tape. The yarn covering fills in the discontinuities between the sound ridge and the core to form a substantially spherical smooth surface for the mallet head.
