Taking Notes from the 20th Century
Take it from Sweetwater, the Malletech G2.6 Infinity Glockenspiel sings with a crystalline tonal brilliance that’s sure to delight the ears of any listener. Malletech designed the G2.6 Infinity Glockenspiel with early 20th-century glockenspiel models in mind to achieve maximum clarity and a delightful tone. In fact, the company utilized a tried-and-true steel formula and took dimensions from the best old glockenspiel bars to construct the steel bars of the G2.6 Infinity. The satin-grained bars find resonance in a solid oak case designed to allow the bars to resonate freely. By taking notes from the early 20th century, Malletech effectively created a modern-day glockenspiel with all the charm of the past century’s musical developments.
Only the best from Malletech
The G2.6 Infinity Glockenspiel rings clearly with superb tone thanks to its construction. The Infinity leverages the benefits of its solid oak resonance chamber and a patented three-point support system that keeps the bars from being overly dampened. Three minuscule rubber feet support each bar while the rest of the steel is left free from holes, screws, fishing line, and other deadening material. Each contact point is insulated with neoprene rubber and 100% wool felt. Lastly, Malletech uses an eco-friendly finish process, leaving their steel bars free of polluting chemicals used in traditional steel plating.
Masterful Malletech quality
For years, Malletech has introduced marimbas, xylophones, mallets, and more to the musical market — with all products exuding superior craftsmanship and tonal properties. How do they consistently achieve this? Just ask one of the world’s greatest classical marimbists: Leigh Howard Stevens. Actively involved with the company he founded and still concertizing to this day, Stevens has a major hand in designing all the instruments and mallets Malletech proudly outputs. Sweetwater, likewise made up of passionate musicians, can see that this hands-on approach makes for a music company that not only understands instruments, but puts all its joy and expertise behind each one. Grab some mallets or invest in a Malletech marimba — you’ll be glad you did.
