Observing different works referring to the percussive repertoire (whether solo, chamber music or even symphonic) we realize that, in many cases, the impossibility of changing mallets in certain musical stretches involving multi-percussion setups compromises the sound of certain instruments. By conducting a study on patents and trademarks regarding mallet systems that allow small suspended instruments to be played without the need to hold it and their specific mallets, it was possible to see improvements and innovative ideas for this type of performance. Using licensed software for 3D projects, we developed and built the Mallet System for Small Suspended Instruments - SIBAPIS2020. As it is a system with improved and expanded functionalities compared to what already exists on field, we intend to contribute to the improvement of percussive performance, particularly in the context of small instruments inserted in multi-percussion setups.
