Bullseye gong (also known as Chao Gong)approx 24" diam. w/ mallet and stand.
This gong is traditionally a Chinese instrument.Made of many kinds of metal heated and hand hammered and stretched to it's specific size and shape for certain sound quality.
Then ,put on an old simple lathe for leveling and hand hammered again.
The black circle and center are the natural color of the heated metal and the shiny brass color are the "shaven" parts -therefore never is it perfect in color nor sharp lines.
Traditionally called Chao gong and we call it-"Bullseye gong" for obvious reasons...
When struck on the edges of center circle-will create very deep ( not as deep as the 40" gong),earthy,relaxing sound.When strike on the brass color area-will have more high notes and "fire".
This is a serious musical quality gong ,used in orchestras,recordings,sound tracks,live music,therapy,meditation,feng shui, looks beautiful in hotel lobby ,Yoga centers,in the home and in the garden... |
