Are you an advanced gong player, do you lead sound baths, and/or use gongs therapeutically? Then you know: Besides your gong and your personal playing style, experience, and energy, the mallet also significantly determines how vibrant, clear, and multifaceted your gong playing is.
Today, we introduce two special models from the ollihess range that are ideal for you as an advanced player: the ollihess Professional Gong Mallet Move Line and the Professional Gong Mallet Soft Line. We developed both mallets for sensitive yet expressive playing, allowing you to discover entirely new soundscapes on your gong in sound baths, sound therapy, or private gong sessions.
Professional Gong Mallet Move Line – more flexibility, more dynamics & more overtones
With the Move Line, you get incredibly versatile mallets, with which you can create not only mid to deep tones in sound baths or sound therapy, but also more clarity, presence, and structure.
Thanks to the harder core and spherical head, you can play exceptionally well in the center of the gong and produce bell-like tones. Precise attacks on the edge are also possible with these mallets – ideal for creating more overtones and setting an invigorating, space-opening impulse.
Our tip for your gong practice
Bring a fresh breeze into the room with the Move Line – you can use them specifically to energize, structure, and sonically 'ventilate' the space. Use smaller sizes (e.g., Ø 40–50 mm) to create brighter and more delicate soundscapes, and larger ones (Ø 60–70 mm) for more volume and depth.
Top Features of the Move Line at a glance
- Flexible handle allows for a rebound effect (light spring back)
- For precise, dynamic, and versatile sound design
- Tones: mid to deep frequencies, clear, precise, and rich in overtones
- Suitable for gongs, singing bowls & drums
- Available in 4 sizes: 40 / 50 / 60 / 70 mm

Professional Gong Mallet Soft Line – enormous depth & much energy
The Pro Gong Mallet Soft Line is the right choice for you if you want to create intense depth with little effort. Use our super soft mallet to immediately bring about calm and incorporate intense grounding sequences into your gong playing. The deep frequencies noticeably flow through the body and can create a feeling of security and release.
Our tip for your gong practice
This mallet is ideal for dynamic playing in pairs – especially for flowing, rhythmic sequences. The springy “bouncy effect” of the soft caoutchouc ball adds more vibrancy and expression to your sound play. Thanks to its light weight and short, handy grip, it always feels secure and comfortable in your hand.
Top Features of the Soft Line at a glance
- Super soft mallet with a bouncy feel
- Intense, rich tones with little effort
