Thank you for uploading this video instruction for wrapping mallets. One can read instructions and get an idea, but actually watching someone do it, creates a whole other element to the learning process. Kudos!

I'm not sure if it has been stated before, but to get that hole at the top you should wrap the mallet slightly off center. Not too much or the yarn will just slide off the core. Also was that a home-made marimba you were playing on at the end?!

Thanks so much. My mallets were justabout useless until I found this vid. Now it's like I have new mallets

[@justintime4taxes]

Thanks man, great video. I know what I ll be doing on this bus this summer during tour!

[@Everlongfive]

Awesome!! I'll be giving my first mallet a go tomorrow!! Thanks loads for sharing your techniques and advice!

@JUSTONEEEE Correct on both accounts! I can't remember if "wrapping off center" has been mentioned before but if not, it should have! And there is a link to my home made marimba in the video description. I built it has a high school student because I had money for either a car or marimba. Of course I picked the car and built the marimba.
