Thomann Wind Gong 30

I use this for sound healing sessions, but I am careful not to hit too hard as this small gong has a tendency to scream (as all small wind gongs would), but played with subtlety, this is an amazing instrument with surprisingly diverse resonances for its size. I do not use the mallet supplied as is. I covered it with softer fleece to dampen the sound to my taste and for use in confined areas over clients who may be sensitive to sharp clang sounds.

Never had a gong before, but got one to use to round up the family at meal times! This one does just fine - it makes a nice "dong" sound when struck and looks pretty good as well.
