Its like the Premier marathon batter head...I have like 5 sitting in my basement. Very few people have these.
I saw two NOS (new old stock) Premier Marathon heads on eBay a few weeks ago and I'm still kicking myself for not buying 'em.

I had forgotten about AD's newer wood-shaft bass mallets.
All but the smallest look OK (I don't trust the squared-off head). Not any cheaper than "main stream" brands, though, and harder to find.
I'd like to know the logic behind the 5th Quarter mallet's chunky shaft, though I approve of the fulcrum notch -- should give a good grip even with sweaty hands.

It appears that Steve Weiss music is carrying the Gambal mallets. http://www.steveweissmusic.com/category/306

You just won't know unless you've played them. They were incredibly comfortable and LOUD.

Honestly the Gambal mallets where possibly the best tenor mallets ever made. The vic firth Mt4 and I think MT2s are pretty much direct copies of Gambal stuff.

Exactly. Often imitated, never duplicated.
Now, to harass the man and make him get production going again, lol.
