{"product_id":"sonic-energy-paire-mailloches-tongue-sonic-energy-388833","title":"Pair of Tongue Sonic Energy Mallets","description":"\u003ch3\u003eHistorical Context and Positioning in the Range\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSteel tongue drums have established themselves as intuitive and expressive instruments, appreciated for their tuned notes and ease of access. This pair of Octave mallets fits within this philosophy: offering a simple, effective accessory consistent with the \"singing\" character of the steel tongue drum, favoring a soft strike that highlights the instrument's natural resonances.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTarget Audience for This Drum\/Instrument\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese mallets are intended for both \u003cstrong\u003ebeginners\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eexperienced musicians\u003c\/strong\u003e seeking a soft articulation and easy control. They are particularly suitable for styles and uses where nuance is key: ambient, world music, relaxation, wellness practices, educational workshops, or accompaniment of voice and acoustic instruments at low volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures and Innovations\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe choice of \u003cstrong\u003erubber heads covered with polyester\u003c\/strong\u003e helps limit overly hard attacks and achieves a rounder sound with less contact noise. This design promotes even striking across the different tongues, useful for playing regular patterns, slow arpeggios, or ostinatos, while maintaining a comfortable feel in the hand thanks to a length of \u003cstrong\u003e26 cm\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound Characteristics\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn a steel tongue drum, the mallet directly influences the balance between \u003cstrong\u003eattack\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eresonance\u003c\/strong\u003e. Here, the textile coating on the rubber head tends to soften the impact: the sound starts more gradually, with a more \"velvety\" character, highlighting the instrument's enchanting and harmonic qualities.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis type of striking is particularly relevant when aiming to preserve a \u003cstrong\u003esoft timbre\u003c\/strong\u003e, avoid overly aggressive projection, and achieve a sustain perceived as smoother. It is an excellent choice for playing at moderate volume, recording atmospheric parts, or working on dynamics without hardening the sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr) minmax(0,1fr)}table[data-wb-spec] colgroup{display:none}table[data-wb-spec] tbody,table[data-wb-spec] tr{display:contents}table[data-wb-spec] td{display:block;overflow-wrap:anywhere;grid-row:var(--wb-l);background-color:var(--wb-lb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[data-r]{grid-row:var(--wb-r);background-color:var(--wb-rb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[colspan=\"2\"]{grid-column:1\/-1}table[data-wb-spec] td:empty{display:none}}\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:3;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCategory\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eOther\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003erubber\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:2;--wb-r:4;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003etongue drums\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequencies\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e440 Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:3;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLength\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e26 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003ePolyester and polyacrylic\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:2;--wb-r:4;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e46 g\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r colspan=\"2\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Sonic Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54359563403539,"sku":"388833","price":20.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/700f3db2a4cca085481ab92976059a9433f03f8a_OSTDMC.jpg?v=1793382251","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/sonic-energy-pair-of-tongue-sonic-energy-mallets-388833","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
