The role of the XL felt-headed mallet
If you have a larger diameter, deeper-sounding metal singing bowl, this XL mallet's 10 cm felt ball head delivers the right mass for a full sound. The larger felt ball touches more of the bowl rim at once, so the entire surface of the bowl starts to resonate together.
Materials and origin
The handle is natural wood and the head material is hardened felt. Made in India with traditional hand techniques, so wood grain and felt density are unique on each piece. The 36 cm handle length offers a comfortable grip, and you can also guide the mallet with arm movement during circular sliding.
How you can use it
The XL size fits best with large singing bowls of 20-30 cm diameter. Gentle striking produces a deep, ringing sound that sustains long. Sliding in circles creates a continuous humming-musical effect, especially suitable for sound massage, sound baths or group meditation.
Dimensions and weight
The mallet measures 36 × 10 × 4.5 cm and weighs about 300 grams. The greater weight helps you avoid striking the bowl hard – just drop the felt ball onto the rim and its own weight will sound the bowl. As it is made from natural materials, weight and colour may vary slightly.
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 XL size mallet is particularly recommended for those who lead group sound baths, where the bowl sound must clearly reach all participants gathered around the practitioner in the room.
