”Tell the real past to the present”

Mallets are made and used by various manufacturers all over the world these days.
Such mallets also have different histories and various shapes depending on the region.
However, the current situation is that few of them remain.
Cymbo Mallets Service is committed to preserving previously established styles from a mallet perspective.
I think that protecting the past is the most important thing in the idea of modern Western music that requires historical evidence.

Cymbo Mallets Service is a project to preserve past and future mallet culture.
