Zen MST2 Striker

Extended reach. Focused depth.

This long-handled striker is designed for working across multiple bowls with ease—offering reach, balance, and a steady point of contact for deeper tonal activation.

With its lightweight structure and weighted head, it supports both precision and presence within a single movement.

A Weighted and Responsive Contact

The striker head is formed from natural latex and wrapped in organic wool. This creates a firm yet softened contact—allowing the strike to land clearly while reducing harsh impact. The density of the head supports the emergence of lower fundamental tones, while the wool covering helps the sound open more gradually. The result is a grounded and stable tone with minimal percussive edge.

Designed for Reach and Flow

The extended handle allows for a wider range of motion.

It supports working with multiple bowls from a stationary position, making transitions between instruments more fluid. The length also allows for a more relaxed movement, where the strike can be guided rather than forced.

A Light and Balanced Structure

The handle is made from rattan, a fast-growing and highly sustainable material.

Lightweight yet durable, it offers a flexible and responsive feel in the hand. This balance between lightness and reach allows for controlled movement without fatigue, even over longer periods of use.

Material & Craft

Each piece is handcrafted and may vary slightly in size and weight.

The handle is made from rattan, a fast-growing liana known for its sustainability and flexibility. The striker head combines natural latex with an organic wool wrap, balancing rebound, weight, and softness.

Made in the USA, each striker reflects a focus on durability, simplicity, and long-term use.
