Thomann GSH MM Gong/Singing Bowl Mal.

Further to my original review below, after relatively little use the Mallet has developed a fault. The head and shaft of the mallet are coming loose. Holding the head of the mallet there's definitely some play developing between the head and the shaft. This means that when you strike a gong with the mallet a distinct and pronounced 'Click' is heard, which I believe is the shaft moving relative to the head of the mallet, making the mallet unusable. The moral of the story is you get what you pay for!
I recommend paying more and getting a known brand Gong Mallet.

"I bought this mallet to try and get a relatively cheap second mallet to play alongside the original mallet that was supplied with my gong, (i.e. as a pair) which was purchased secondhand locally. It is a better quality than the original supplied mallet and produces a better tone but you can tell its build to a lower price point than say the other Dragonfly mallets I’ve also purchased from Thomann.
Overall it offers fair value for the price paid."
