Vic Firth VF-M7 American Custom® Keyboard Hard Phenolic 1 1/8″ Ball Mallets

Vic Firth VF-M7 American Custom® Keyboard Mallets – Hard Phenolic, 1 1/8" Ball

Maximum Projection with Classic American Custom® Feel

The Vic Firth M7 American Custom® keyboard mallets are designed for players who demand strong projection and uncompromising clarity.

Featuring 1 1/8" hard phenolic ball heads, they deliver a bright, cutting tone with a powerful attack—ideal for xylophone and upper-register keyboard parts that must project clearly in ensemble and orchestral settings.

Authoritative Attack, Reliable Control

The ultra-hard phenolic material provides immediate response and a sharply defined pitch centre, while the larger ball head adds mass and presence compared to 1" options. This makes the M7 particularly effective for rhythmically exposed passages. Matched birch shafts ensure a balanced feel and predictable handling during extended playing.
