THIS ANTIQUE MULTI-TONED "SINGING" GONG COMES FROM TIBET BEFORE THE PROBLEMS WITH CHINA. IT IS TRULY AN AMAZING GONG - THE TONES ARE UNBELIEVABLE AS IF LIKE IT WAS A FULL ORCHESTRA DEPENDING ON THE AREA WHERE YOU HIT IT. CENTER HAS THE TOP MAN SOUND - AN INCH TO EITHER SIDE AND YOU HAVE CYMBALS CRASHING - THE RIM SOUNDS LIKE BIG BEN - AMAZING - RESONANT - MULTI-LAYERED TONES.
THIS GONG IS MAD OUT OF THE SAME MIXTURE OF THE SEVEN METALS THAT THE RITUAL SINGING BOWLS ARE MADE FROM. THE METAL HAS BEEN HAMMERED BY HAND AND THE WORK IS EXCEPTIONAL. IT MEASURES 12" DIA. x 1" DEEP.
GREAT TO CALL YOUR GUESTS TO DINNER - OR TO ANNOUNCE A GUESTS ARRIVAL - OR MERELY FOR YOUR ENJOYMENT - YOU WILL WEAR YOURSELF OUT EXPLORING THE TONES - IT COMES WITH A CLOTH/COTTON MATTED STRIKER, NOT AS OLD AS THE GONG BUT MOST EFFECTIVE.
