ollihess Essentials Mallet Set

For anyone who wants to explore the full range of their gong. With several coordinating mallets, you can produce a variety of tones—ideal for beginners as well as for those expanding their collection.

This collection is designed to fit standard gong sizes. The set size that fits your gong depends on its diameter; you'll find a guide in the product description.

Use different mallets to create different timbres: larger heads for the low fundamental tone, smaller ones for bright accents and details. This allows you to build sound patterns that aren't possible with a single mallet.

Yes, every mallet in the set is a fully-fledged instrument in its own right and can be played on its own. In addition, the mallets in the set are tonally matched to one another.

Because a gong has many voices. Each strike produces different frequencies; only when struck with multiple mallets does the full range—from the deep fundamental tone to the delicate overtones—become audible.

Every mallet in the set is handcrafted in our family workshop, from the handle to the head. As a result, each piece is one-of-a-kind, with small, intentional variations.

It is best to clean them while dry: Carefully brush off dust and loose fibers, and spot-clean stains with a slightly damp cloth. Please do not wash or soak them, and store the mallets in a dry place.

When used normally and stored in a dry place, these handcrafted mallets will last for many years. Their lifespan depends on how you play and how often you use them; if you ever have any issues, please feel free to contact us.
