What is the Earthtones Collection?

Earthtones is more than just a color collection—it’s a philosophy. At ollihess, we believe that percussion instruments should also visually connect us to nature. The Earthtones Collection combines natural earth tones like Forest, Sand, Olive, and Terracotta with ollihess’s time-tested craftsmanship. The result is mallets that feel just as comfortable in your hand as they do in any setting.

An overview of the Earthtones Collection products

The Profi Gong Mallet earthtone is available in two head sizes: 80 mm and 100 mm. The 80 mm model is ideal for precise, nuanced playing on medium-sized gongs, while the 100 mm model, with its larger head, brings out the full range of low frequencies in large gongs.

The Earthtone Light Edition is available in three sizes—S, M, and L—and is the lighter, more agile counterpart to the larger Earthtone mallet. It is ideal for subtle sound design, long sessions, and working with singing bowls.

The earthtone light Set combines the light edition into a coordinated package—perfect for anyone who wants to dive right in with the full range. The earthtone Forest Collection is the largest set in the line and bundles the most essential earthtone mallets for maximum tonal variety in a single package.

For large gongs and extended sound sessions

Earthtone mallets are at home on gongs —and that’s where they truly shine. The Light Edition is particularly well-suited for subtle sound design and precise playing on medium-sized gongs. The large Earthtone mallet, with 80mm and 100mm heads, fully resonates the deep, grounding frequencies of large gongs and is the ideal companion for extended sound bath setups.

natural caoutchouc, fleece, and beech: Close to nature right down to the materials

The connection to nature goes beyond just color. The Earthtones Collection also delivers on its promise in terms of materials. natural caoutchouc, Oeko-Tex fleece, and organically waxed beech —all sourced from sustainable, local suppliers. Handcrafted in family-run workshops in Germany. 100% vegan.
