TTE Konklang Gong Rubber 0 YinYang-Ed 5 Reviews
Ok quality, very bad functionality
I tried this type of small flumie on 2 gongs, one SS and a bronze one. I needed to be very quick and to push hard to get a sound out of it. But I cannot create drone sounds. Basically I cannot use it. The quality is ok, but it is pointless, almost no function. I do not recommend it!
Best rubbers available
When I play I don't wanna limitations from my great and also expensive gongs. One rubber or one mallet, are as another instrument. The range of TTE Konklang rubbers are made in natural products, so life is limited. But I see it like if it was a pencil, when its finish it is finish. So you have a limited life, as they get dry or they are gone by the. From my point of view it is normal and fully acceptable, just could be a bit more cheap, as I have to buy them every one or two year, and I need the full range of sounds.
After all, a great tool for my set.
super high
I recommend this flumi because of the very high notes it makes. Play only with TTE Konklang Vario OTG 5 handles.
delicate gong rubber
this item is quite delicate comparing to larger rubbers, because after one gong session it looked like old rubber. It makes very high pitch , so the sound effect is nice.
Wow - amazing sound
I love this little beauty. It peels off a wonderfully high pitch wail on my gongs. It can be quite shockingly high and loud in a small room so a subtle touch is required.... takes a little practice, but not much.
After a lot of use (6 months of using it a few times a week) the head has become a little worn out and so is no longer spherical, but it still works just the same :-)

The whales are out!
Lovely high pitched sound coming from this rubber, almost of an eerie quality. The only defect is that it is not so easy to achieve the sound as in those rubbers with a bigger head, you really need to find the right pressure and speed of friction, and it's a hit and miss... Unless you decide to use it with a Konklang Vario, in which case it's perfectly calibrated and achieves a wonderful sound very easily.
