The Korena take
MEINL’s 1.6-inch Sonic Energy resonant mallet is made for drawing more than a single strike sound from a gong. Its treated rubber ball head can be rubbed across the gong surface to produce whale song-like effects, giving a sound-healing, meditation, or atmospheric-music setup a calmer, sustained texture. Within the range, smaller mallets bring out higher pitches while larger versions emphasize lower ones.

Strong match
Who this is for
- Creating rubbed, whale song-like gong effects in sound-healing or meditation sessions.
- Adding calm, atmospheric gong textures to music built around sustained resonance.
