Ron Vaughn Voiced & Tuned Signature W-1.3 Wood Block, made from N. American Black Cherry. The pitch of the W-1.3 is approx. A6.
The mallets that will bring out the full voice of this smaller block are Ron's PBM-1R rattan shaft mallets, and also the Ron Vaughn SBM-1.5 Rattan mallets, and the MPM-1.75R Multiple Percussion mallets.
The size of the W-1.3 Wood Block is approx. 1 3/4" x 2" x 5 1/4".
The W-1.3 is in the family of Ron's piccolo blocks.
All Ron Vaughn Signature Wood Blocks are 100% made in the U.S.A. by Ron Vaughn Percussion.
As with all original Ron Vaughn Signature Voiced & Tuned Wood Blocks, each block is made one-at-a-time, (for over 50 years), and each block is tuned individually. Block contour geometries are created for ideal sound, with these contours being applied uniquely to each Ron Vaughn Signature block model, for its intended range, voice, and natural material of origin.
