Singing Bowl Mallet Clear Acrylic Base Rubber Striker Mallet for Playing Quartz Crystal Singing Bowl with Bundle Pocket (Clear)

Sound is clear

I bought this to use with my crystal singing bowl and it works perfect. The one that came with it was flimsy and immediately started to tear up. This one works much better.

The striker mallet for playing quartz crystal signing bowls is slim, light weight and does not scratch when circling the bowl. The sound is better without the scratch sound from previous mallets.

Exactly as described! This was an experiment for me because I wanted to see if I could get better sound out of my traveling bowl set by trying a different mallet than the wooden ones it came with. Using these mallets, I can strike with the silicone coated end and run the hard acrylic side around the bowls to produce different sounds. Using the acrylic side to circle around on my metal bowls produces a sound that is far superior to any wood mallet or rubber mallet I have tried. I will say that if you want to use this on metal bowls and primarily want them for striking they produce a slightly more muted sound but a clearer tone than you would get with a suede covered wooden mallet. Perhaps because these are heavier than wooden mallets. I am supremely happy my experiment paid off and plan to use these almost exclusively for my metal bowls.

Edit: I wanted to edit this review because in the past few weeks I have ordered and tried a few different mallets. These are by far the best. Even though I wish they would last longer….they have been my favorite. I’m ordering another set in hopes that they’ll last longer. Other brands are too heavy or make awful noises. These are lightweight and super smooth.If you are just starting out playing then these are perfect for you. In you are someone who uses your bowls all the time or uses them for sound healing sessions then I’d suggest using something else. I bought two of these in October of 2022 and they have honestly been great (that’s why I gave 2 stars) but I noticed the other night that my bowls were beginning to make a scratching type of noise while playing. I cleaned the mallets, moved the bowls around, and even cleaned the bowls….until I realized it was the mallets. You can see in the picture where they are worn down and when I play with that part (the entire middle) it begins making that noise. If I move the mallet to the bottom or top (which is super weird to play that way for me) then the noise stops. I really wanted to love these and I did until 4 months in and they are no longer able to be used.

So I bought a BEAUTIFUL set of crystal bowls. Some have rougher edges than the others so I have a variety of bowls. I bought "Crystal Singing Bowl Resonant Rod/Mallet - Silicone Coated Glass - Pure, Clear Tone for Meditation, ASMR, Yoga or Sound Baths, 2-YEAR WARRANTY" first for $28. It's a great mallet. I wanted a second and decided to get this one cause I wasn't sure which one to go with originally. This one is cheaper and plays even better. It reduces the dragging noise significantly. The other one is good too, but has more of a dragging noise than this one. It plays the bowls a lot smoother and it's easier to keep this one from vibrating off the bowl than the rest. I'm not a fan of the suede mallets, LOTS of dragging noise. I also have a round silicone one with a wood handle... I always end up dragging the wood on the bowl or it makes a squeak noise on the side, so I don't like that one much either.

This mallet is nice and light and really makes my crystal bowls sing! Highly recommend!

The quality is outstanding—it feels great in the hand and has a smooth, satisfying sound.
