Each mallet is wrapped in soft lambswool, allowing the gong to open gradually while maintaining a rounded, full sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike harder mallets that can quickly emphasize higher frequencies, Paiste mallets are designed to bring forward the fundamental tone of the gong first, with harmonics developing naturally over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePaiste’s sizing recommendations are traditionally based on orchestral use, where larger mallets are used to create faster and more powerful crashes. In a sound-based or meditative context, many practitioners prefer working with slightly smaller mallets for greater control, sensitivity, and ease over longer sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChoosing a mallet is less about strict sizing and more about how it feels in your hand, and how it allows the gong to respond within your practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest suited for: \u003c\/strong\u003eThis mallet is recommended by Paiste for a 20\" or 22\" Symphonic gong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize of Mallet:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTotal Length: 15” \/ 400 mm\u003cbr\u003eHead Diameter: 3” \/ 81 mm\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 9 oz \/ 260 gr\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt provides a steady balance between sensitivity and presence, making it easy to settle into a consistent rhythm of play.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Paiste","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47359725142237,"sku":"M2","price":182.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0780\/8578\/3773\/files\/PaisteMallet_M1__40249.1546892901.1280.1280.jpg?v=1770183421","url":"https:\/\/sunreed.com\/products\/paiste-m2","provider":"Sunreed™ Instruments","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
