,,Tolga’s timpani mallets are crafted with great care, feel exceptionally comfortable to play, and have earned a permanent place in my collection. The versatility of the leather mallets (Model 31) is truly second to none. Whether in the Rider’s March from Wagner’s Lohengrin or in Beethoven’s Eroica, I find myself reaching for this pair regularly and with great pleasure. I use the wooden mallets whenever Richard Strauss calls for them, but also whenever I want to achieve a larger, more powerful sound from smaller timpani. I am very grateful that there are people like Tolga, who pursue their craft with such dedication and such a remarkable range of expertise and creativity.“

“I am truly impressed by Tolga Anlar Mallets. They are well balanced, have a comfortable weight, and provide enough tonal presence to be clearly heard even in highly resonant concert halls such as the Meistersingerhalle in Nuremberg. Model 9 is an absolute essential in my setup. It is a genuine all-rounder—equally suitable for rolls and for timpani solos that require greater projection and power, on both plastic and natural heads. Thank you, Tolga, for developing these outstanding models! I am certain that more will be added to the range soon, and I can hardly wait to try them out.“

”I'm extremely satisfied with the mallets. Their tone has really opened up over time, and they feel incredibly comfortable to play with. The weight, balance, and sound are a perfect fit for my hands. I genuinely recommend them to everyone with full confidence. I’d happily stand behind every positive word written about them. My personal favorite is No. 21, I absolutely love it and use it more than any other.”
