PLEASE NOTE: Small irregularities are completely normal! The balls of our friction mallet are cast by hand and then finished with various tools until the desired surface is achieved. This can result in small irregularities on the ball, which are due to this manual process. This is therefore completely normal and has no influence on the sound that you can produce with this friction mallet .
