Care instructions

To ensure that your friction mallet can bring out the full sound spectrum of your gong over the long term, regular care and proper storage are essential. Clean your gong regularly and always store your mallets in a protected place. If necessary, you can gently remove deposits on the friction mallet head, which are usually caused by dust or dirt, with hot water. With the right care and cleaning, the material and sound quality will last for a long time.

Origin and materials

Every ollihess professional gong mallet and friction mallet is carefully handmade in small family businesses in Germany. Only sustainable, regional and animal-free materials are used. ollihess stands for conscious, mindful sound play with responsibility for people and nature.
