A carved mallet with a steady, full tone
This 18×4 cm wooden mallet is shaped to bring out the deeper voice of a Tibetan singing bowl. The wide, balanced head transfers a clear amount of energy into the rim of the bowl, while the hand-carved handle gives a firm, comfortable grip during longer sessions.
How to use it
To strike, tap the rim gently — a clean, ringing note rises and fades. To 'sing' the bowl, run the side of the mallet around the outer edge in a steady circular motion. With a little practice the sound builds into a sustained, hovering tone that fills the room.
Best matched bowls
This size is well suited to medium and larger metal singing bowls, where a heavier mallet helps the bowl reach its lower frequencies. If your bowl is small, a lighter striker may suit it better; for crystal bowls, use a dedicated suede or felt mallet.
The role of the carving
The carved surface is more than decorative. It gives the mallet a tactile, non-slip feel, so your hand stays relaxed even during longer sound sessions. The wood has a warm, slightly aged appearance that pairs naturally with traditional metal bowls.
Care and details
