All mallets come just as they are described. If there is a sound that you are looking for and do not think that one of the pairs as they currently appear can create the sound, simply call me or email me and I will let you know what I can do. There may be an additional charge for some requests based on the amount of work that would have to be done, but I want to ensure that you get exactly what you want from my mallets. No request is impossible!
