Mallets and friction mallets

Which mallet should I buy?

At Hess Sound you will find both felt mallets for a firm attack and direct tone as well as felt mallets for a soft and warm tone. There are also plush mallets with a rubber core. These less expensive mallets offer a centered attack for low notes due to their weight and rubber core. They produce a long-lasting sound and are suitable for Singing Bowls and all Feng and TamTam gongs. For therapeutic applications, we recommend singing bowl mallets made of aluminum, as they are easy to disinfect. You can also use these mallets for working in water, for sound meditations (room-filling sounds on Singing Bowls and gongs) and for sound massage.

What mallet are there for gongs?

We have developed different mallets for working with gongs . The size, degree of hardness and nature of the surface and the mallet core determine the timbre of the gong. You can use gong mallets and gong rubbers. The latter can be used to rub a gong, creating a spherical sound.

Which mallet are there for Singing Bowls?

Singing Bowls are typically made to resonate with various felt mallets. The main sound of the bowl varies depending on the size and hardness of the mallet head. We therefore recommend using different mallets, especially if you only have one Singing Bowl . A tried and tested combination is, for example, a large, soft felt mallet for particularly low tones, a medium, slightly harder felt mallet for frequencies in the medium range and a small, hard felt mallet for high tones.
