ProMark Dan Fyffe Xylophone and Bells Series Rubber Mallets (DFP210 DFP230 DFP250)
The ProMark DFP210, DFP230, and DFP250 are all part of the Dan Fyffe Xylo/Bells Series designed for educators and student percussionists. They share the same 16 27/64" length and 11/32" birch handles, but differ in the hardness of their rubber heads, which determines their tone and application.
Here is the breakdown of the differences:
ProMark DFP210 (Soft): Features a soft rubber head. It is ideal for a warmer, muted tone on xylophone and provides a softer articulation on the lower-mid range of a marimba.
ProMark DFP230 (Medium): Features a medium rubber head. It offers balanced articulation on xylophone and is ideal for a "softer tone" on xylophones and mid-upper range marimba.
ProMark DFP250 (Hard): Features a hard rubber head. It provides maximum, bright articulation on xylophone and is best for the upper range of a marimba.
Key Shared Features:
Series: Dan Fyffe Educational Series.
Material: 1 1/8" Rubber heads on Birch shafts.
Application: Xylophone, bells/glockenspiel, and woodblocks
