Unlimited Chinese Wind Gong - 24"

This listing includes a traditional Chinese gong mallet.

The 24" Wind Gong. In China, the word for wind sounds like Fong. A refreshing breeze is known as Ching Fong. Chun Fong is a spring breeze, while Fong Ling is wind chimes. That is why you sometimes see Wind Gong described as a Feng Gong. Because Feng is the transliteration of the Chinese word for Wind. We could have written Feng, but it has been written Fung and Fong as well. So this solid 24" bit of deep shimmery sound, is the Feng, Fong, Fung Gong.

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.
