Allen Joanis Series
 
Snare and Tenor Sticks
"I have always desired to get the same quality of sound from the snare sticks and tenors sticks but, until now, I have been unable to do so. The tenor stick is the same basic design as the snare stick but shorter and with a slightly larger bead. This creates a blend of sound between the two voices that I have only been able to achieve by having the tenors use the same sticks as the snares but allows the tenors to have the length needed for intricate arounds. The best of both worlds which results in a better musical product."

Mallets
"The AJ line of marimba and vibe mallets provide a full sound without sacrificing articulation at each level of hardness. My composition process has changed since switching to this line of mallets because I am accustomed to having to choose between fullness of sound and articulation. The soft mallets get a full sound in the low end with a clear level of articulation while the extra hard mallets have a full bodied sound without an obnoxious attack. The construction of the mallets are durable yet still retain the desirable qualities and attention to detail that come from a hand made line of mallets."
