Sound and character
The small felt head delivers a fine, soft strike that brings out the bright, higher overtone range of small and medium bowls particularly beautifully. The shorter 25 cm handle is easy to control and allows nuanced play with small hand movements. Its tone is soft, close and emotionally subtle, making it ideal for intimate, fine-grained sounds.
How to use
Choose this mallet if you work with small bowls of around 200-500 g. Hold the handle loosely and touch the rim or side of the bowl with light, small strikes. It is well suited for individual sound massage, gentle work near the eyes or head, and for sessions with children where the volume needs to stay moderate.
Why this product
Because feeltone designed this size of mallet specifically for small bowls. If you want a small bowl to express its own soft, higher voice, you should choose this mallet, because without matched head size and weight a bowl can either fall silent or be over-driven.
Care tips
- Even with a small bowl, strike loosely and gently.
- Try slow, circular rubbing on the rim for a continuous tone.
- Never strike a person or animal; even small mallets can produce significant volume.
- Store in a dry place and never on a wet surface, so the felt keeps its springiness.
