We use almost exclusively environmentally friendly and renewable raw materials in the development and production of our gong pens and gong mallets. This is also the case with the Smooth Lava Edition gong mallet: the head of the friction mallet is made from 100% renewable natural caoutchouc . In order to produce even less waste, we do not use deep abrasion.
We also use regional raw materials whenever possible. Olli personally ensures these high standards: he monitors the production process every step of the way and incorporates your suggestions for improvement into further development. Because for him, his standards must never be lower than those of his customers. You can find even more information about our ethical principles and Olli in our "About us" section.
PLEASE NOTE: Small irregularities are completely normal!
The balls of our friction mallets are hand-cast and then refined with various tools until the desired surface is achieved. This artisanal process can result in small imperfections on the ball. This is completely normal and does not affect the sound you can create with this friction mallet.
Extra soft surface.
