The Dragonfly Percussion Auster Crystal Singing Bowl Mallet is a singing bowl mallet for both striking and singing your bowls, designed in collaboration with Sara Auster. The mallet is constructed of tightly stacked layers of suede on one side and a silicone disc on the other with a hand-turned cork grip between the two sides. These components are assembled over a hollow aluminum tube for a super lightweight feel. The suede column creates a clear, pristine sound when struck against the wall of a bowl. The suede is firm enough for a super quick response, but soft enough for a warm, luscious sound and is safe for striking even thin-walled crystal bowls. It also effortlessly sings the bowls when rubbed along the lip or side. The silicone disc on the opposite end elicits a silky, seamless sustained sound from your bowls when rubbed along the wall of the bowl. The natural cork handle is comfortable and secure in the hand. This mallet plays exceptionally well on alchemy crystal singing bowls, as well as frosted crystal and metal bowls."For many years, I used the standard white tube mallet that's typically included with most crystal singing bowls. However, the instruments themselves are so special— so unique and elegant that I always longed for an implement or tool that matched the beauty and quality of the singing bowls. The new Dragonfly Auster Mallet is beyond what I even dreamed. The silicone disc and stacked suede sound amazing on both crystal and metal bowls and the cork feels super soft and comfortable in your hand. This mallet will enhance your bowl playing and elevate the aesthetic of your sound bath set up-it is truly a work of art!"- Sara Auster
