Cloyd Duff Timpani Mallets are made and matched by Glenn F. Smith in Virginia.
The Cloyd Duff timpani mallets are an authentic reproduction of the original timpani mallets used by Cloyd Duff for over 50 years. Shafts are either hand-selected American Hickory or high grade jointless Bamboo. All felt mallets are made of custom German felt which eliminates bunched felt and contact noise. All mallets are hand-matched for exceptionally balanced weight.
The late Cloyd Duff, former timpanist of the Cleveland Orchestra, was recognized worldwide as an outstanding performer and as an expert on all subjects pertaining to timpani.
