The new Resonance Series F-Line consists of three gong mallets on high-density birch laminate handles.  These beautiful handles are hand-turned by master baton maker Phil Aguglia of PaGu Batons. The birch laminate, which is heavier than hickory, is cut with a slight taper and a small knob on the bottom end.  This design perfectly balances the heavy cores of each model.  Each mallet is wrapped in high-quality synthetic Sherpa fleece.  A removable eye bolt is threaded into the bottom of the stick and sports a colour-coded hanging strap for easy identification of each mallet. 

What do Dragonfly mallets sound like?

Did you know that most gong owners own a large collection of mallets. That is because each mallets brings out different tones in the gong.  A big soft mallet dampens the tiny sound waves so you hear the really low tones. A big mallet with a hard core still brings out the deep tones but also lets you hear the attack.   Tiny mallets allow the higher tones to sing stronger.   Check out this vide and hear how each mallets sounds.
