The CT-6 hard felt heads and cherry handles.
The CT-6 hard felt heads and cherry handles.

When to choose it

Choose the CT-6 for a timpani passage that needs a clearly articulated start to the notes. Its hard felt ball is the maker’s Ultra Staccato construction. Compare it with the medium-soft CT-2 when you want more definition in a rhythm rather than the gentler contact of a general model.

The Concert series uses hollowed cherry handles. Compare the way the shaft sits in your hand while keeping the head grade separate. The selected CT-6 model is sold as a pair. Confirm the head material suits your instrument before using it for a staccato passage.
