The LHS Tour Bag™ was the first large-capacity mallet bag with tiered pockets for marimbists and percussionists. First sold in 1979, it remains the standard by which others are compared. It’s the only bag made of soft, 100% cotton corduroy (not nylon “Cordura” or polyester) and it will give you a lifetime of use. It folds and zips into a shoulder bag, leaving the two larger outer score pockets accessible. The 16-inch-deep pockets in two tiers can each hold a full set of marimba or vibe mallets, two pairs of drumsticks or a pair of timpani mallets.
Malletech offers soft-sided Car Cases™ for many of our instruments. Rugged design, thick padding, heavy-duty straps, buckles and self-repairing zippers protect your musical investment and speed set-up and packing. Whether you’re on a gig around town or on tour across a continent, Car Cases are essential equipment.

It all started because Joe Locke was stopped by TSA and not allowed to board a flight with his last pickup system. Plus, he was tired of traveling with four long rails and a separate $700 preamp. We got electronics whiz kid Mike Pope to design all the electronics, and he worked with Joe on the natural-sounding tone-shaping circuits. LHS worked on the mechanics of how long pickup rails could quickly fold up into a mallet bag or carry-on case.
Pickup Rails – Crafted from aircraft-grade, 1-inch square aluminum tubing. The spacing and mounting works on any 3-octave graduated bar vibraphone. They fold up and fit in a mallet bag or carry-on case.
V3PS Preamp – Delivers performance on par with studio mic preamps. It controls all the signals you need to input or output for any kind of gig.
