This handcrafted mallet is designed for players who want to draw out the deep, sustained voice of a gong without the sharpness of an aggressive strike. The oversized fleece head softens the initial contact, allowing the gong to bloom naturally into its fundamental tone while minimizing harsh overtones and surface noise. The result is a rounder, more meditative sound that emphasizes resonance over attack, ideal for sound therapy sessions, deep listening practices, and spaces where a gentler approach is desired.

Measuring 15.25 inches in length and weighing approximately 775 grams, this mallet is best paired with larger gongs as well as heavier temple gongs that benefit from a soft, broad striker to fully activate their lower frequencies. The substantial head and balanced wooden handle give the player reliable control while delivering enough mass to move larger instruments with ease. 

Because each mallet is handmade, slight variations in size and weight are natural and part of what makes every piece unique.
