About KATO.BK Model Seegers
The basic model was created by researching and recreating the details of the felt wrapping method, core material, etc. of the timpani mallet that Mr. Seegers owned.
The basic concept is "loud sound with a soft mallet"
There are many different types of players, with different physiques and playing styles, so in order to allow each player to choose a mallet that suits them best, we came up with many ideas and created a huge number of prototypes, from which we carefully selected 20 types (3 original types + 17 variations) to create a lineup.
*The names of the variation models are based on the impressions that Seegers himself had while trying them out, and should be taken as a guideline only, not a stifling or restrictive one.
This timpani mallet, with its special head structure, has the great advantage of allowing the player to control the clarity, timbre, and rhythm of the sound themselves. The idea of the mallet head has a history of about 150 years, and materials used at that time included wood, sponge, wool, and leather. Currently, the main materials used are wood, cork, leather, and cotton (felt). It continues to develop, as if it has been used in performances for 150 years in central Europe.
