Wind Gong 12" Inch 30cm

These wind gongs are beautifully handcrafted in Wuhan and traditionally constructed of a unique bronze alloy strung with thick natural cotton rope for holding or hanging.  The gong's almost flat shape enables vibrations to spread out widely, with a long sustain. This handcrafted work of art emits a powerfully low pitched sound, and by playing the gong more powerfully, the sound opens up with dramatic sizzling overtones.  Comes with a drum stick / beater made of natural wood.  These diameter sizes are easily handheld and fun to play, the voluminous sound is relaxing and unwinding, a perfect gift.

This wind gongmeasures 12" (30cm) in diameter.  Sizes 14" (35cm), 16" (40cm) or 18" (45cm) are also available in my store.  For larger sized wind gongs, please see message me.

Wind Gongs, also referred to as Feng or Sun Gongs, are traditionally handcrafted in China.  Gong sound therapy has been practiced for thousands of years.  Gong meditation is an ancient Asian technique, an immersive sound bath that produces an amazing sense of well-being through the vibration of water within the body (that is composed of 80% water).  The sound vibrations emitted by the gong sends signals that are interpreted at the biological, energetic and emotional levels, directing the cells to develop in a homeostatic rather than unbalanced manner.  It is believed that gong baths can help reduce stress and liberate emotional blockages.  Scientific evidence suggests that certain forms of sound therapy prompt damaged human DNA strands to repair themselves.  Some tones are thought to promote vitality and healing, and also to enhance happiness.  Many alternative healthcare clinics offer sound therapies such as gong meditation to help manage various ailments.
