Singing bowls and gongs can be made to sound with very different mallets and friction mallets. It is not only the technique used that makes a big difference to the sound – the materials from which mallets and friction mallets are made also have a fundamental effect on vibrations and tones. We explain the differences as well as playing techniques and show you what else is important when choosing a mallet or friction mallets.
Many instruments are played with the help of a mallet. The different types of mallets also release very different tones – depending on the material used and the construction of the mallet. In this post you will learn about the different mallets available for singing bowls and gongs and how you can use them.
A mallet is used to beat, a friction mallet to create friction – but where are the differences in material and form? And how does all this affect the sound? We explain which different mallets and friction mallets are available for gongs and singing bowls and how to use the different variants correctly.
