To have timbral options on triangle has added a lot to the music we have been working on this year. Timpani mallets are something that we go through a couple times per year. It is really great having our cabinet stocked so that I do not have to worry about starting yet another purchase order midyear for this one item. Tuning has been so much easier than in the past. Previously, I would have to have students share tuners and trade off. I am now able to outfit students with their own individual tuner, making the instruction given that much more effective. Myself and my students are so thankful to have these resources in our room.
