Recommended usages: 70 durometer 1" knobs for fast/running soprano parts; 70 durometer 1.25" knobs for non-running soprano parts requiring prominence; 60 durometer 1" knobs for quieter soprano parts or home practice; 60 durometer 1.25" knobs for running tenor parts.
 
Handles: I make soprano mallets from 1/2" birch, hickory, walnut and cherry. Hickory is the wood usually used for drumsticks; I don't notice much difference in playability among these woods, although hickory and walnut are both a bit heavier than birch or cherry. Mallet lengths are 12-1/8 to 12-3/8", or can be made to your specifications.
