Federico M. Taboada
Orchestra Estable Teatro Colón - Buenos Aires, Argentina - Percussion.
“ The possibility of having a lyrical sound on the xylophone was something that I have always looked for, and as soon as I tried the ASP mallets for the very first time I knew that I had just found it.
Their beauty, their feel, and how smooth they can blend with the woodwinds or the strings is truly satisfying.”
