Unlimited Chinese Wind Gong - 22"

This listing includes a traditional Chinese gong mallet.

The 22" Wind Gong. We would call it a Zephyr, if it came from the West, but it comes from the East - unless you live in Vietnam - so we will call it an Easter! In fact, this gong will resurrect your spirits, if not your flesh, when you bang. Try it the next time you are crucified - not literally, figuratively. Bang a Wind Gong and you will cleanse out the Sadducees and Pharisees of your office or family! Or the Fallacies and Heresies! Or the Bee Gees and the Squeegees!

The Chinese Wind Gong is fully lathed, all shiny. It also does not have a rim; it is flat on the edge. This design gives the Wind Gong its splashy celebratory tone when struck with a quick fast attack. However, larger wind gongs (32" and bigger) have a lot more sonic flavors, overtones and harmonics, unique pockets of tone that can sound like analog synthesizers with long sustain.
