I use this mallet for every pp to mf roll I encounter. It is slightly lighter than the MR20B or MR24B, but has an even and soft felt feeling to it. However, it also has a clear sound that works perfectly to underline a pizzicato – for example on the 3rd movement of Mahler’s First Symphony.

“Heavy Roller”: Especially useful for low notes like one would encounter in Bruckner Symphonies, this perfectly balanced mallet produces the biggest and fullest sound a player would ever need in an orchestra.
