This handcrafted mallet offers the same soft, rounded striking quality as its larger counterpart in a more compact, agile form. The dense fleece head cushions the initial contact with the gong, drawing out a warm, sustained bloom while minimizing sharp overtones and surface noise. The result is a meditative, resonance-forward sound that emphasizes depth over attack, ideal for sound therapy sessions, intentional practice, and moments when a gentler touch is desired.

Measuring 12.5 inches in length and weighing approximately 310 grams, this mallet is well suited for heavier and larger gongs while offering greater control and ease of handling than a full-sized striker. The balanced wooden handle feels comfortable in extended sessions, and the smaller head provides a softer dynamic range that still carries enough weight to activate deep, low frequencies. 

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