{"product_id":"b-love-essential-mid-flumies-set","title":"B Love Essential Mid Flumies Set (#4, #5, #6, #6.5)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe B Love Essential Mid Set includes four friction mallets (#4, #5, #6, and #6.5) designed to bring out a broad range of mid and lower tones from your gong. Rather than striking the gong, you gently draw the silicone heads across its surface, producing sustained singing tones, rich overtones, and deep, resonant sounds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThis is B Love's most versatile set, with four head sizes that respond differently across the gong's surface. From clear mid-range singing tones to lower rumbles and drones, the set gives you plenty of room to experiment. It's a good starting point for anyone exploring friction playing, as well as a useful range for experienced gong players.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFlumies are handcrafted by Bear Love and his team in the mountains of West Wales, UK. The number indicates the head diameter in centimetres: a #4 has a 4 cm head, for example.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIn the Set\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSize\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eHead diameter\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eOverall length\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e#4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e4 cm \/ 1.5\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10\" \/ 25.5 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e46 g \/ 1.6 oz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e#5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5 cm \/ 2\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e11\" \/ 28 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e84 g \/ 3.0 oz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e#6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6 cm \/ 2.25\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13\" \/ 33 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e140 g \/ 4.9 oz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e#6.5\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e6.5 cm \/ 2.5\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e13\" \/ 33 cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e170 g \/ 6.0 oz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMeasured on our stock; individual mallets vary slightly.
