And thank you for your music too :)

Price depends on size! Mine is 80cm in diameter and costs around 600 euros,but smaller ones come around 150.......

Look for a Chau gong,made in Wuhan,China. :)

HI, I just purchase my first gong. I am excited to practice with it.

Can you tell me the type of mallet you are using to make the beautiful hunting sound?

Thank you

I use a hard solid rubber juggling ball.Drill a hole in the ball and insert a bolt to use as a handle.Pad the bolt with gaffa tape to soften the return vibrations or your hand will swell up as mine did in the beginning.......

Depending on the pressure you use,the speed you rub and where,you get different results. You can see this in the vid.Also rub the ball with sandpaper to clean and roughen it before playing.

I'ts not that difficult,but the results are sweeet!

Happy gonging :)

Thank you so much for the information. I will go and look for some at a toy store. I am sure different diameter balls also produce different sounds, right?

Om Shanti

ever since I heard someone play a gong on tv I've been left in complete awe. I will certainly buy one for myself in the future when I move house. How much should I expect to have to pay for one, depending on size? Doesn't look cheap by the looks of it...

amazing vibes
