This is a large gong mallet for your gongs that are over 28 inches in diameter. Made in Wuhan China like our other white cotton head mallets with rubber inside, this big gong mallet is because you play your big gong with heart. Sometimes you have to have a great heart to be near a big noise. You must be still with love inside to deal with the explosion. That is why this mallet is dedicated to Juan Romero. Mr. Romero was the busboy at the Ambassador Hotel who comforted Robert Kennedy moments after he was shot on June 5th, 1968.
