Singing Bowl-Mallet 15x2
Mallet for Singing Bowls — 15×2
This compact mallet is designed specifically for metal singing bowls in the lighter weight range, up to approximately 300 grams. The wooden construction with a leather-wrapped head produces clear, articulate tones whether the bowl is struck directly or played with a circular rubbing motion along the rim.
Construction and Sound
The wooden core is the decisive factor in the mallet's acoustic character. Wood transmits impact energy with minimal dampening, resulting in bright, well-defined attack and sustained clarity across the bowl's fundamental and harmonic frequencies. The leather wrapping on the head softens the initial strike slightly while maintaining tonal definition — a balance that works across a wide range of bowl sizes and thicknesses within the target weight class.
When used for the circular rubbing technique that activates the sustained resonance of a singing bowl, the leather surface grips the rim without slipping, allowing controlled pressure and speed variation. The mallet's proportions — 15 centimetres in length with a 2-centimetre diameter — distribute weight evenly, reducing hand fatigue during extended play and offering precise directional control.
Suitable Bowl Size and Weight
This mallet is optimized for singing bowls weighing up to 300 grams. Lighter bowls benefit most from its responsiveness; heavier bowls may require a mallet with greater mass and a larger striking surface. If you are uncertain whether your bowl falls within this range, weigh it before purchase or consult the specifications of the specific bowl you own.
Playing Technique
For striking, hold the mallet as you would a drumstick or percussion mallet, with a relaxed grip that allows the wrist to move freely. Strike the outer wall of the bowl at a 45-degree angle, roughly one-third of the way up from the base. The wooden head will produce a clear initial tone followed by sustained resonance.
For the circular rubbing technique, grip the mallet handle lightly and apply gentle, even pressure to the rim while moving in a slow, continuous circle. Begin with light contact and increase pressure gradually until the bowl "sings" — a deep, rolling tone that builds in volume and harmonic richness. Consistent speed and pressure are more important than force.
What's Included
You receive one mallet with a wooden handle and leather-wrapped head, ready to use immediately.
Care
The leather head will gradually show wear with regular use, which does not affect function but may slightly alter the tonal character over time. Wipe the mallet dry after use if it has been exposed to moisture. Store in a dry environment to preserve the wood and leather.
The singing bowl mallet remains a fundamental tool in the practice traditions of Himalayan and South Asian cultures, where these bowls serve both meditative and ceremonial purposes.
