When to choose it

Choose the VBF if you want a firm felt head and the assembly fits your pedal. It gives you one felt contact to compare with the softer or harder surface you already use. Keep the shaft height and kick head the same when judging how the notes start.

Check your receiver and kick surface before ordering. This is a complete beater assembly. If you want one assembly with two distinct contact materials, compare a compatible reversible model instead. Use the selected part number when replacing a Vater hard-felt beater.
