Description
, is a less traditional Chinese Gong than some of the other styles. Its a more recent design created by Chinese gong makers and is available to all gong sellers, so we felt compelled to put it in the Traditional section. It is basically a Wind Gong, but with concentric bands of lathed and unlathed circles. The unlathed parts control the crash and splash, less than a Wind Gong. The rings concentrate the tones and it does not open up sound-wise like a fully lathed gong.

Made exclusively for Gongs Unlimited, our line of Subatomic Gongs is the perfect option to add to your collection of sound healing instruments. Subatomics are to our Chau Gong as the black keys on a piano are to the white. The Subatomic creates a more mystical tone when struck with a complex mixture of harmonics and overtones. Often, striking it in the different concentric rings will give you a slightly different tone each time, adding to the mystique of these gongs.

The Chau Gong is iconic in appearance. It is what many people see in their minds eye when they think of a Chinese Gong. The bulls-eye design is created by the metal lathing between the rim of the gong and the center.

Come on, you fledgling rock stars, orchestral percussionists, interior designers, feng shui practitioners… it’s time to order your gong SUPERSIZED.

The Mother Tesla Gong is an unlathed gong, designed specifically for Gongs Unlimited. This is how a gong looks when it comes out of the oven. Most Chinese gongs have this color when they come out of their cast mold, but then are lathed to create different tones. The Mother Tesla Gong, with its unlathed exterior, maintains a deeper tone. It doesnt crash like a Wind Gong, or even a Chau.

The 34″ Temple Wind Gong brings Uranian tones of insight and epiphany, mixed with calm meditative sounds of devotion and repose. The Temple Wind helps to achieve both religious ecstasy and spiritual wisdom. It soothes and centers, it grounds you and then lifts you up.
It is made in the classic Wind Gong style, lathed, with no rim coming back from the face. The lack of the rim helps to open the sound, allowing the gong to be built to a complex crash. To allow for the engraved design of the outer edge, the outer ring of the gong is left unlathed, similar to our Dark Star Gongs. This unlathed portion helps to contain some of the crash, bringing some focus and clarity to the overall sound and adding a level of control.
