NJZ-7 Canary Strong Cut
NJZ-7, is the hardest model in Zivkovic series and together with model "NJZ-6 Silver Sharp" belongs to the harder side if the sound. Zivkovic series has three major groups: for general performance (Nr. 3, 4 and 5) two models for SOFTER area (nr. 1 & 2) and models njz6 & 7 are for energetic, harsh, cut-through the orchestra or percussion ensemble, especially when marimba has a solo part.
NJZ-7 will carry the sound of marimba bars far out, and still have relatively rich fundamental note of each bar. Use this model especially in right hand when you need to come through the big orchestra AND TO STILL HAVE SOME GOOD Sound of the marimba and not sounding like bad xylophone. Except for the lowest octave, NJZ-7 will do better than most others "very hard" mallets available on the market today.
NJZ-7 is available on perfect thicker rattan, or on hand sanded 8.8mm strong cedar shafts. It has best possible projection while still bringing some "body" in high octaves of the marimba.
Best choice for K. Abes prism rhapsody and other two mallets passages with orchestra.
Combinations:
NJZ-7 will well fit as top mallet of three NJZ-6 or in a combinations 5-6-6-7. It will cut through the hall like canary yellow in a jungle (of sounds), therefore its name. It is wrapped in extremely durable synthetic mixture zivkovic-yarn, for minimalizing contact noise.

NJZ-MT Cloud White, Multi-tone mallet
NJZ-MT is a model that represents a group on its own.
It is specialty mallet for special requirements. By the way how it is constructed and built, model MT (multi-tone) covers different hardness’s. When played in soft dynamics, MT will give soft, wooly, cloudy sound and be tender, very similar to NJZ-2, but with less "body" due to its lighter weight.
By increasing dynamic, the hard inner core of the mallet will gradually came through and sound will become harder. By reaching fortissimo dynamic level, you will get hardness similar to model NJZ-6, but again, with less body of the bar.
NJZ-MT model is best possible compromise between full marimba sound in nice soft playing, and strong hard fortissimo strokes, so you can bring it both sounds WITHOUT CHANGING A MALLETS.
In standard performing situation, when playing on average mezzoforte dynamic, it will bring a sound considered rather “soft”, but as soon as dynamic increase, the hard core is coming out.
Use this model also, where any sudden change of the hardness is required. (Second movement of T. Tanaka "Two movements for marimba" for example) NJZ-MT will logically cover entire range of the
5-Octave marimba, but not in every dynamic. Higher octaves will better work in forte where hard sound get through it, and lower dynamics will be better in low register.
NJZ-MT Available on perfect thicker rattan, (NJZ-MTR) or on hand sanded 8.8mm strong cedar shafts.
Combinations:
NJZ-MT is in its nature very specific mallet, with graduate change of the hardness, so it does not easily blend with other standard mallets, but you could use NJZ-2 in a bass.
It is wrapped in extremely durable synthetic mixture Zivkovic-yarn, for minimalizing contact noise.
• Weight: 39 g. (Rattan + 1-2gr. approx)
• Head Size: 42 mm
• Color: Cloud White
• Schlagkraft sound scale: 25 to 75 (hardness increase with dynamic)

In Toblach, Austria, today Italy, Mahler has composed in his famous "Komponierhäuschen" some of hisgreatest music including "Das Lied von der Erde"
It looks like the todays owner of the property could not care less about this "crazy " composer Mahler and all those stupid people that come from all over the world to visit this musical SHRINE. Even worse, - if you want on walk in in front of the "Komponierhäuschen" you must pay. yes, pay. But not for the "Käuschen" ,... no no.... you are paying to "visit" a Wild-Park" run by the owners. How about someone in Egypt make a Entertaining Park, lets say kind od Disneyland, around the Pyramides, - and all tourist that come to visit Pyramides, must pay entrance to the Entertaining Park... He? this is how I felt.
Let me know if I am wrong, or what is your opinion?

NJZ-2 Deep Ocean Blue
"Medium soft" is what others would call it... Available on perfect thicker rattan or on hand sanded 8.8mm strong cedar shafts. NJZ-2 is ideal for more distinct soft attack; it is clear like Pacific Ocean, sings melodic line with unseen beauty. It makes waves when rolled gently. Its balanced weight is achieved without brass (or any other) inserts... we order-made our cores and precisely determinate its weight. NJZ-2 is available on perfect thicker rattan or on hand sanded 8.8mm strong cedar shafts.
Combinations:
NJZ-2 will well fit as top mallet with 3 NJZ-1, or in a combination 1-2-2-2, for some cases also as two middle mallets in combination 1-2-2-3. Deep, clear sound, tender but clear attack. NJZ-2 will bring also larger sized bars to ring (Yamaha 6000, Malletech, and Musser). Many players love this mallet for Bach’s slow movements or any music where resonant, tender and rich single notes are needed.
It has dark ocean blue color, extremely durable synthetic mixture Zivkovic-yarn, for minimalizing contact noise.
Once purchased, you will have this mallet forever, practically indestructible.
