Sound and character
This pair of mallets features a medium-hard rubber head that brings out a clear, articulated fundamental tone from the instrument while keeping the natural ring of overtones intact. The rubber's mass keeps the sound neither too sharp nor too dull — just right for the focused voice of a soprano-range tongue drum.
How to use
Primarily intended for soprano-range tongue drums, where the higher register calls for precise, rhythmic playing. Equally suited to solo work, group drum circles, and the rhythmic sections of sound-therapy or meditation sessions where finer dynamics matter.
Why this product
Feeltone supplies these mallets in a pair, so you can play with both hands right away without having to buy two singles. The white wooden shaft sits comfortably in the palm, light yet steady, so your hand stays relaxed during longer sessions.
Care tips
- Aim for the centre of the tongue for the richest sound.
- Hold the mallet loosely and let the rubber head rebound naturally.
- Store in a dry place; cool, sun-protected storage slows ageing of the rubber.
