The “Hess Sound” brand stands for products that have grown out of more than 35 years of experience in sound work, shaped by practice, training, therapy and thousands of encounters with people. Under this name, we develop products specifically tailored to the needs of sound practitioners.
We design from the heart: with us you will find a wide range for professional sound massage, for sound therapists, for seminar leaders and for everyone who wants to consciously invite sound into their life.
Every single product is developed and tested by our team and handmade in selected workshops. As broad as our range has now become, one thing connects them all: care, functionality, durability. And a deep understanding of how sound works.
How is a Hess Sound product created?
Many of the products you find in the Hess Sound online shop today simply did not exist on the market in this form. They were created because something was missing in practice: some ideas came from the Peter Hess® Sound Massage, others from feedback from users. Still others grew out of our own standards: this can be done even better.
Today you will find a range with us that is much more than accessories: it is a well-thought-out system for your sound work and practice.

1. Mallets & friction mallets for singing bowls and gongs: precision meets feeling
Choosing the right mallet or friction mallet has a decisive influence on the sound of your gong or singing bowl. In 35 years of working with sound, we have experimented a lot with materials, ergonomics, weight and balance, until the result is a product that meets your needs and brings out the character of your instrument authentically.
This process gave rise to the Hess Sound mallets and friction mallets, which are carefully produced by family businesses in Germany:
- Hess Sound Felt Mallet
- Hess Sound Hard Felt Head Mallet, small
- Hess Sound Singing Bowl Friction Mallet with Aluminum Core
- Hess Sound Singing Bowl Friction Mallet, small
- ollihess x Hess Sound Mallets
A special highlight are our double felt mallets and special mallets for singing bowls and gongs:
- Hess Sound Double Mallet
- Hess Sound pure line Mallet
- Hess Sound Onyx Mallets
- Hess Sound Small Earth Mallets
These mallets are made on site in Bruchhausen-Vilsen by our employees. The individual components are supplied by trusted manufacturers and lovingly assembled in-house.

With our different series, you bring nuanced sound colors into your practice: soft, earthy, clear or powerful.
2. Sound Bath Bowls
New in our range are our Hess Sound Bath Bowls. These singing bowls were developed specifically for use in sound baths. You can get them as a set with or without accessories as well as individually. We also offer a matching felt coaster set.
3. Laser-engraved singing bowls
Our engraved singing bowls are also popular:
- Singing bowl “Lotus Blossom”
- Singing bowl “Peace”
- Singing bowl “Love”
These beautiful singing bowls are made in India and then precisely laser-engraved by us. In this way, we combine traditional craftsmanship with modern technology.

4. Incense Singing Bowls
Our Incense Singing Bowls combine sound and ritual. They are suitable for small rituals of letting go or cleansing and bring clarity to meditation or practice.
5. Singing bowl accessories
For your singing bowl to unfold its full potential, it needs more than just a good mallet. Well-thought-out accessories ensure a secure hold, optimal sound and mindful handling in everyday life and in practice.
Hess Sound singing bowl cushions and singing bowl coasters
Our singing bowl cushions grew out of many years of practice and give your singing bowl an optimal hold without dampening it too much. They let your singing bowl vibrate freely and are durable and stable.
Different color schemes and new designs are created in close coordination with our partners in India and Nepal. We work with long-standing producers, under fair conditions, in workshops with which we share a bond of trust.
Take a closer look at our cushions and crescent cushions for singing bowls:
- New Hess Sound singing bowl cushions with design (3 colors)
- Hess Sound singing bowl cushions in gray/red/cream
- Hess Sound singing bowl crescent cushions
In addition to our wool felt coaster ring set, you will also find completely vegan coaster rings in our shop. We developed these together with suppliers, and they were made especially for Hess Sound in Germany.
Singing bowl pouches & bags
For transporting your instruments safely, we offer pouches and bags in different sizes:
- Hess Sound singing bowl pouches (various sizes, gray/cream/red)
- Hess Sound Singing Bowl Bag made of cotton canvas with “Flower of Life” embroidery
Take a look at our pouches and bags here.
In addition to bags and pouches for singing bowls, we have also developed our own bag for storing cymbals.
Meditation cushions
Our meditation cushions are sewn in India and Nepal and filled on site with organic buckwheat from Germany. We even developed our own filling machine for this. This way we ensure that the quality is right, the moisture is controlled and your cushions stay durable.
6. Gongs
Our growing range also includes our nickel silver gongs:
- Hess Sound Gong Luna
- Hess Sound Gong Gaiana
These gongs are made by the renowned Broder Oetken workshop, which stands for traditional forging and exceptional sound quality. They impress with clear response, balanced vibration and a sustaining, nuanced sound structure.

7. Sound massage accessories
A professional sound massage needs well-thought-out support for sound massage practitioners and sound therapists. Peter Hess is considered a pioneer of modern sound massage and developed a method over 35 years ago that is now used worldwide. At Hess Sound, we build on this experience and develop accessories conceived directly from practice.
Positioning systems
You can make the people receiving sound particularly comfortable with the Hess Sound positioning systems: from small positioning cushions to the comprehensive Positioning Set, every product was developed by us and can be combined flexibly. Our Mini Positioning Set is particularly versatile.
Many of these products are made in the workshop of a long-standing partner, a friend of our singing bowl manufacturer. Here, too, fair working conditions and sustainable cooperation are the focus.
“Sound Oasis” seat and lounge cushion
The Hess Sound Sound Oasis came about because many sound practitioners wished for it. It offers more freedom when working on the floor and allows the people receiving sound to lie comfortably and relaxed.
Foot bolsters
Our Hess Sound foot bolsters are sewn in India and Nepal and filled with organic buckwheat on site in Uenzen. We even developed our own filling machine for this production step. This allows us to control the moisture, prevent mold during transport and guarantee you organic quality.
Further sound massage accessories
We also offer you further practical sound massage accessories to make the sound massage as comfortable as possible for you and for the people receiving sound:
- Hess Sound sound massage mat (standard width & extra wide, with embroidery)
- Hess Sound forehead cushion
- Hess Sound positioning cushion, small
