The sound of a singing bowl depends significantly on what it is struck with — a well-chosen mallet does not just initiate the vibration, it shapes, deepens and sustains it. This 27×6 cm large wooden mallet is made from Terminalia Elliptica wood, whose density and natural resilience can release a distinctive sound from the bowl. Suitable for meditation, sound therapy and yoga.
Terminalia Elliptica wood and sound quality
Terminalia Elliptica (also known as Yin-Yang tree or Saaj wood) is a dense, hard tropical timber traditionally used in Nepal for making musical instruments and tool handles. This density means the mallet does not absorb much energy on impact — the vibration transfers more fully into the bowl, producing a richer, longer-ringing sound. The 27 cm length provides enough control and distributed force for a larger singing bowl.
Large size — for large singing bowls
The 27×6 cm mallet is designed for large and medium singing bowls. The size and weight of the striking head are sufficient to bring out the full depth of the bowl's resonance — without requiring a forceful strike. This mallet is recommended for those with bowls larger than 15 cm in diameter, or those seeking a deep, spacious sound for meditation.
