I've played on the harder concerto mallets, and on the innovative soloist mallets. I have several pairs of Encore mallets including the Zeltsmans, latex wound, yarn, and cord wound.

The Zeltsman mallets are really sweet with a really nice full sound, I use them on cellos suites and ensemble playing. They are a little heavier (like the concertos) The cord wound ones are maybe my favorite, but I wish they would have a mallet between their med. hard and med. I also use some of the blue med. hard yarns and they are really nice. I've only had them for a short time, but construction seems bomber. The latex ones I have had for a long time and they do get a little harder with age, but they seem to hold up exceedingly well. I have all my students buy the latex ones (23ALB) because they are so cheap (18.90/pr at www.percussionspecialist.com).
