earthtone light: Deep Roots, Vibrant Shoots
While the earthtone One and Two embody the earth itself, the earthtone light mallets represent powerful branches and first shoots: light, agile, and flexible. Nevertheless, you create resonant sounds that are deep enough to keep you grounded. The balance between handle and head, the low weight, and the short, slender handles allow for a free, precise, and intuitive playing experience with these mallets – even over long periods.

The earthtone Edition can be understood like a tree
The earthtone Mallets One and Two represent the trunk and roots – they stand for depth, weight, and grounding. They bring the gong into its full, resonant potential.
The earthtone light Mallets are the branches and shoots – lighter and more agile, yet still deep. With them, you shape the sound, create impulses, and design transitions.
Three Sizes – an Evolving Sound
In addition to its volume, the earthtone light Edition introduces a fresh, vibrant sound character. Clear impulses combine with sufficient depth to set your gong in motion without dominating it. With their soft silicone heads, these gong mallets invite a flowing style of play – from grounded depth to subtle transitions and new beginnings.
Ergonomic Handle for Free Play
The earthtone light Mallets feature slender, ergonomically designed handles. Thanks to their light weight and smaller mallet heads, your wrists and forearms are noticeably relieved. This creates a very natural playing feel.
Sustainability Meets Craftsmanship
Like all our products, the earthtone light Edition is handcrafted in small family businesses in Germany. We use only vegan, high-quality materials, working regionally and sustainably – for mallets that will accompany you for a long time.
