With soft surface to soft tones

Our goal is to keep making new sounds possible with new creations. With the Ollihess Gong friction mallet Lava Edition, you get exactly that. The only very gently roughened surface – which was not processed with arrows and rasp as usual – allows you to evoke also decidedly gentle sounds. The natural processing of the gong friction mallet ensures that the inclusion seams and individual casting characteristics are preserved. This process makes each Smooth Lava Edition gong driver absolutely unique. Above all, however, the friction mallet convinces with the facetted variety of tone colors, because the soft surface allows for an even more comprehensive spectrum of tone nuances.

Sustainable use of natural resources is a priority for us. In the development and production of our gong friction mallets and gong mallets, we use almost exclusively environmentally friendly and renewable raw materials. This is also the case with the Smooth Lava Edition gong friction mallet: the head of the gong friction mallet is made of 100% renewable natural rubber. To produce even less waste, we do not use deep abrasion here for this purpose.

In addition, we use regional raw materials whenever possible. Olli personally ensures the high standards: He accompanies the production process in every step and also lets your suggestions for improvement flow into the further development. Because for him, the rule is: his demands must never be lower than those of his customers. You can find even more information about our ethical principles and about Olli in our “About us” section.
