The Meinl Sonic Energy Gong Beaters are crafted to give you the ability to create a wide range of dynamics from a quiet, low hum to fast splashes to a loud, brooding roar on any gong type or size. Made in Germany, the sapele wood handle feels great in your hand with a smooth, balanced touch, and the large synthetic soft fleece head draws out beautiful tones on gongs effortlessly. Its proportional dimensions and weight give you an outstanding feel. This large-sized beater measures 15.55" long (total) with a 3.94" wide beater head, and the total beater weighs +/- 374g (13.19oz). Sold as a single, you can pair with other sizes to get big crescendos on gongs or play two gongs at once (other sizes sold separately). This gong beater fits a variety of settings where meditative gongs are typically played, from yoga studios, close meditation spaces or sound baths in large, wide-open rooms. Meinl is a family-owned musical instrument manufacturing business that was established in Germany in 1951. Our expert German designers have deep relationships with our builders to ensure you're delivered the absolute finest quality.
