Genis GEN2 "Beethoven Soft" Timpani Mallet
The Tim Genis Signature GEN2 “Beethoven Soft” Timpani Mallet by Vic Firth is tonal‚ with enough up-front attack for clarity. It has a felt core, and the persimmon shaft provides a darker sound. The balance and weight of this model makes articulation effortless. The head diameter is 1 5/8″ and the length is 14 3/8″.
The versatile Tim Genis Signature line of timpani mallets is tonal in character and designed to create different colors and qualities of articulation.
Tim Genis has been a member of the Boston Symphony Orchestra since 1993, when he won the appointment as Principal Percussionist – a position which he held until winning the timpani position, a role made vacant with the retirement of Vic Firth after a 50 year tenure.
