Sound and character
The small head delivers a soft, light touch — exactly what a small Feng gong needs. The highs stay clear, no excessive impulse dominates, and the sound remains delicate and sensitive. Ideal for close, intimate sound work.
How to use
Hold the mallet loosely in the middle of the handle and touch the gong with light movements. Small instruments do not need much momentum — a mere touch is often enough for a rich sound. Suited to chakra work, meditation, sound massage and sessions with children.
Why this product
You are getting a basic accessory that is indispensable for playing small gongs. Mallets meant for larger gongs would simply be too heavy — the mini head delivers precisely the right mass and hardness for this range.
Care tips
- Store in a dry, dust-free place, away from direct sunlight.
- Do not press the head into the surface; let it bounce back.
- Using several mallets helps you find the character you want.
- Do not clean the cotton head with a wet cloth — only dust it gently.
