Overview This wind gong produces a wide spectrum of sound in a single instrument. Using a padded mallet creates a complex blend of tones and overtones, while striking with a drumstick yields clear, bell like attacks. The curved rim design broadens the tonal range, from sustained low hums to powerful roars and quick explosive crashes.
