Chalklin are specialist mallet makers trusted by percussionists, orchestral musicians and world music performers who demand precision, quality and the right tool for the job. At Into Music we stock Chalklin's gong mallet and tam-tam small mallet with metal handle — two carefully crafted tools designed to draw the best possible sound from gongs and tam-tams of all sizes.

The choice of mallet has a profound effect on the character of a gong or tam-tam's voice. A well-matched mallet unlocks the full depth, warmth and complexity of the instrument — from the slow, swelling wash of a large gong to the sharp, cutting attack of a struck tam-tam. Chalklin's mallets are built with this in mind, offering the weight, balance and striking surface needed to achieve a wide range of expressive results.

Whether you're a percussionist in an orchestra, a sound therapist working with gongs, or a drummer adding world percussion to your setup, Chalklin mallets are a specialist choice worth knowing.

About Chalklin Mallets

Chalklin are a respected name in specialist percussion mallets, producing tools for percussionists who understand that the mallet is as important as the instrument itself. When it comes to gongs and tam-tams, the striking implement determines everything — the speed of the attack, the depth of the fundamental tone, the complexity of the overtones, and the overall character of the sound produced.

Chalklin's gong mallet is designed to produce a full, warm, resonant tone with a controlled attack — ideal for orchestral and ceremonial use where a rich, sustained sound is required. The tam-tam small mallet with metal handle offers a different character: a more focused, precise strike that is well suited to situations where clarity and articulation are needed alongside the tam-tam's characteristic shimmer and sustain.

At Into Music Store, we stock Chalklin mallets as part of our broader percussion and world music accessories range. Whether you're equipping a professional percussion setup or exploring gong and tam-tam for the first time, our team in Horncastle, Lincolnshire can offer expert guidance.
