The Auster Mallet, created in collaboration with Sara Auster, is crafted for both striking and singing your bowls. It features tightly layered suede on one end and a silicone disc on the other, separated by a hand-turned cork grip, all mounted on a hollow aluminum shaft for exceptional lightness. The suede side produces a clear, crisp sound with fast response while remaining gentle enough for fragile crystal bowls. The silicone end delivers a smooth, sustained tone when rubbed along the bowl. The cork handle offers a secure, responsive grip, making it ideal for clear/gem crystal, frosted crystal, and metal singing bowls.
