More info:
The Vic Firth American Custom T2 Cartwheel Timpani Mallets (SOFT) are ideal for soft rolls, legato strokes and the richest sounds. Very soft. So soft. Vic Firth American Custom Timpani Mallets are turned from a single piece of rock maple, which eliminates a core that could rattle and the need for a screw-on washer to secure the head. <<< This information was taken from this website: drumswest.com/vic-firth-t2-cartwheel-timpani-mallets/

I got these mallets back in 2019 (even back then - they were in "new" old stock condition).
I was planning to sell them sooner- but was kind of busy. Finally getting a chance to sell them now.
The mallets are in MINT condition (the white felt just has natural imperfections - nothing serious).
One of the handles has two kind of short dark brown lines in the wood (which are natural imperfections inthe wood grain).
The clear packaging is in between Very Good and Good shape.
--
The mallets are fine / unused condition.
The white felt balls are fine. As I mentioned above - the white felt just has natural imperfections - nothing serious. The maple handles are fine withthe exception of a few natural imeprfecitoninthe wood grain (a few dark lines on oneof the handles).
The logos on the handles are fine.
The clear plastic packaging has some visibe aging same some visible wear.
- The clear plastic baggie has aged / yellowed. It has several visible imperfections: some cloudiness, some surface residue causing the cloudiness, some discoloration, some creases, some uneveness, a few tiny nicks, several light scratches, a few tiny holes, and a couple of factory made holes.
Below are links of the mallets that I have listed on REVERB.
- Please message me if you plan to purchase any other mallets in additon to the Vic Firth T2 pair.
Not listed - I have more mallets by other companies. Hopefully I can create a list for you to view (because there are too many to list in a short duration of time).
Here are links for the mallets that I have listed:

I took several pictures of the mallets and there are a few pictures of the packaging.
NOTE: There may be a few minor imperfections that I overlooked. There maybe a few minor imperfections that can be seen in person that do not appear in the pictures. Also - there are some imperfections (glares, reflections. dust specks) that show up in the pictures that are not that visible in person.
