The Angelini Mallets Glockenspiel – R. Bitondo Series is a collection of 3 pairs.

This Series, developed in cooperation with Prof. R.L. Bitondo, Timpanist at the Opera House of Rome, has been one of most difficult mallets we have ever made.
We spent more than 3 years to test, break and cut so many kind of plastic, resin and brass, and we finally made the Glockenspiel – R. Bitondo Series.

Offered in tree models:

  • GK 20 RLB, full sound with brass insert;
  • GK 40 RLB, amazing legato and round sound with brass insert;
  • GK 80 RLB, articulated and lighter without brass insert.

The GK 40 model has a round tip – made with a special phenolic resin built around a brass insert – producing a soft and round sound, ideal for piano and pianissimo dynamics. Noiseless and harmonic rich in any different brand glockenspiel we tested. These mallets are very solid, with a short shaft for the maximum control.
