I bought a gong…

…and since I had no mallets made some, investigating as many different ways of coaxing (nice) sounds from my gong that I could find. I play the piano, so it seemed natural to have some make that put separate frequency ranges in each hand. And then double mallets that you play like a Bodhran beater. And then there’s the dark arts of Flumie making…

It’s still an eductation. I still explore new materials, sounds and ways of playing, and follow hands, ears, eyes and trusty gong.
