What mallet should I use for my singing bowl?

The right mallet depends on the size of your bowl and the tone you want to produce. Larger, softer mallets - such as suede leather or felt - produce a warmer, more sustained tone and are well suited to larger bowls and meditation contexts. Smaller, harder strikers give a brighter, more immediate attack. The Meinl Sonic Energy resonant mallet range covers suede leather and plain options, while the professional mallet range offers felt-tipped options. If you're unsure, call us on 01507 526517 and our team will advise based on your specific instrument.

What is the difference between a gong mallet and a gong beater?

A gong mallet is typically used to strike the gong to produce its initial tone, while a gong beater (or resonant mallet) is used to sustain and build the sound through circular rubbing motions around the edge of the gong. Many practitioners use both - a beater to initiate the sound and a mallet to sustain it. We stock both types from Meinl Sonic Energy, as well as Vic Firth Sound Power gong mallets in yarn and fleece head options.

What size gong stand do I need?

Gong stands are sized by the maximum gong diameter they can accommodate. Meinl Sonic Energy table stands are available for gongs up to 13", 15", 22", and 26". Floor stands are available for gongs up to 32" and 40". If you have a very large gong (50" or 60"), we also stock specialist stands for these sizes. If you're unsure which stand fits your gong, call us on 01507 526517 and we'll help you find the right match.

Do I need a case for my singing bowl or gong?

A dedicated case is strongly recommended for any singing bowl or gong you transport or store regularly. These instruments are susceptible to damage from impact and vibration, and a well-fitted case prevents chips, cracks, and surface damage that can affect both the appearance and the resonance of the instrument. We stock Meinl Sonic Energy bags for crystal singing bowls in 8", 10", 12", and 14" sizes, as well as gong/tam tam case bags and Protection Racket and Hardcase gong cases for more robust protection.

How do I care for a handpan?

Handpans require regular maintenance to protect their nitrided steel surface from rust and oxidation. Meinl Sonic Energy handpan care products include a cleaner for removing dirt and residue, a care wax for protecting the surface, a nitrided steel protectant for ongoing rust prevention, and a complete care set covering all three steps. Regular cleaning and waxing after playing - particularly if the instrument has been exposed to sweat or moisture - will significantly extend the life and tuning stability of your handpan.

Sound Healing Accessories - Everything Your Practice Needs

The right accessories make a meaningful difference to your sound healing practice - both in the quality of sound you produce and the environment in which you experience it. Into Music Store stocks one of the most comprehensive ranges of sound healing accessories available from a UK retailer, covering every aspect of instrument care, protection, and performance.

Mallets and strikers are the primary interface between you and your instrument. Different mallet materials, weights, and sizes produce noticeably different tones from the same singing bowl or gong. Softer mallets - such as suede leather or felt - produce a warmer, more sustained tone with a gentle attack, well-suited to meditation and relaxation contexts. Harder strikers give a brighter, more immediate attack with greater projection. The Meinl Sonic Energy resonant mallet range covers suede leather and plain options for singing bowls, while the professional mallet range covers felt-tipped options for a wider variety of instruments. For gongs, we stock Meinl Sonic Energy gong mallets and beaters alongside Vic Firth Sound Power gong mallets in yarn and fleece head options - among the most respected gong mallets available.

Gong and tam tam stands from Meinl Sonic Energy are available in floor-standing and table-standing formats across a wide range of sizes - from small table stands for gongs up to 13" through to large floor stands for gongs up to 40". Stagg adjustable gong stands offer a more affordable alternative for smaller gongs. For very large instruments, we also stock Meinl Sonic Energy stands for 50" and 60" gongs.

Handpan stands and accessories from Meinl Sonic Energy include floor stands in small, medium, and large sizes, a low-profile rest stand, a wood handpan stand, handpan cords for hanging, and a magnetic piezo pickup for amplifying your handpan. Handpan care products include cleaner, care wax, nitrided steel protectant, and complete care sets - essential for maintaining the finish and tuning stability of a handpan.

Cases and bags protect your instruments during storage and transport. We stock Meinl Sonic Energy gong/tam tam case bags, crystal singing bowl bags in 8", 10", 12", and 14" sizes, crystal singing chalice bags in 6" and 8", and a crystal singing bowl protective sleeve set. For more robust protection, Protection Racket gong cases and Hardcase lined gong cases offer a higher level of impact resistance.

Meditation rugs and cushions create the right physical and acoustic environment for your practice. The Meinl Sonic Energy meditation rugs (200cm) are available in Vintage Gold/Floral and Navy Blue/Floral designs, and the natural meditation cushion provides comfortable seating for longer sessions.
