The role of the 8 cm L felt-headed mallet
If you have a larger metal singing bowl, this 8 cm felt ball head L mallet provides the mass that brings out the deep, sustained fundamental tone of the bowl. The larger head exerts even pressure on the bowl rim, so the entire bowl surface vibrates at once, giving you a long-resonating sound.
Materials and handcrafting
The mallet handle is natural wood and the head material is hardened felt. Made in India with traditional hand techniques, so the wood grain and colour show a unique pattern on each piece. The 32 cm handle length allows comfortable guidance even during longer sound massage or meditation.
How you can use it
The 8 cm felt ball fits best with large metal singing bowls of 22-28 cm diameter. You should gently place the mallet on the bowl rim and slide it in a circular motion – the deep, full sound is particularly suitable for sound massage, sound baths, group meditation, and chakra balancing.
Dimensions and weight
The mallet is 32 cm long, the ball head is 8 cm in diameter. Weight is 178 grams, providing enough mass so you do not have to strike the bowl hard – its own weight sounds the bowl. As it is made from natural materials, weight and colour may show slight variations.
Care and storage
Store the mallet in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight. Regularly dust the felt head with a soft brush. Do not wash with water, as felt may deform. Wipe the wooden handle with a dry cloth as needed. The L size mallet is particularly suitable for group sessions where several participants are present and the singing bowl sound must clearly carry across the space. The 8 cm ball head provides enough mass to bring out the deep fundamental tone.
