22" Chinese Gongs on the Seaside C-Stand

This listing includes the gong of your choice, gong stand, and a traditional Chinese gong mallet. Note: The gong and stand in the photo are not the exact items you will receive, but an example of what this gong and stand combo usually looks like. The 22" Atlantis Gong is a powerful piece of metal! It will be fun the day our intrepid bottom of the sea foragers find evidence of ATLANTIS, the antediluvian theme park! Atlantis, the Malletheads know, existed, as we were there. You were too, Mr. and Mrs. Forgetful of Your Past Lives! It had its high points and its low points, but we know that the gongs that were played, and the sound healings that were done, were so good that their reverberations are still being felt today. GET AN ATLANTIS GONG AND RELIVE THE MAGIC! Approximate Weight of Gong: 10 lbs The Atlantis Chau Gong mixes the classic look and feel of the traditional Chau gong with mystique and depth of our exclusive Atlantis gong. The science of metallurgy and the art of the gongmaker combine to create a gong with differing coloration and varying pockets of harmonics throughout the gong. The classic lathing pattern brings balance and control to the overall sound, making this gong something special that's a must-have for sound alchemists, therapists, healers and musicians. Approximate Weight of Gong: 10 lbs The Chau Gong is iconic in appearance. It is what many people see in their mind’s eye when they think of a Chinese Gong. The bull’s-eye design is created by the metal lathing between the rim of the gong and the center. Approximate Weight of Gong: 8 lbs 8 oz The Chocolate Drop Gong is similar to the Chau Gong. In fact, it is basically a Chau Gong with the outer dark ring lathed off. This makes the Chocolate Drop Gong not only look brighter than the Chau Gong, it can make it sound brighter too. Approximate Weight of Gong: 8 lbs 8 oz Exclusively made for Gongs Unlimited, the Dark Star Gongs are designed to bring beautiful tones into your life. The Dark Star line resemble our Mother Tesla Gongs, but with a more musical bounce to their tones - yet still able to maintain a moodier sentiment. The tones will bring out your thoughts for gentle examination, and help you grow. Approximate Weight of Gong: 10 lbs Recently blown in, these Dark Wind Gongs are similar to the traditional Wind Gongs, but with an unlathed outer edge. The unlathed part controls the crash, creating less splash than a wind gong and preventing the gong from opening up sound-wise like a fully lathed gong. Approximate Weight of Gong: 6 lbs 6 oz The Deep Breath Gong is a breath of fresh air. These gongs are thinner, light-hearted, and fun. The dark unlathed center provides great sustain while holding the crash in. Approximate Weight of Gong: 6 lbs 6 oz Exclusive to Gongs Unlimited, the Deep Breath Chau Gongs are similar to the Deep Breath Gongs that we have all come to love, but with a rim! The presence of the rim focuses the sound and combined with the dark unlathed center, provides great sustain while holding the crash in. Approximate Weight of Gong: 8 lbs 8 oz The 22" Eventual Horizon Gong approaches the center of absolute zero, closing in on unity, you look to the center of it all and see yourself. You approach the event horizon, in a spatial moment just beyond, the Eventual Horizon. The sound of the universe reverberating through a wave field of strings and bands of light and darkness meets you and welcomes you back to the union of all things. Approximate Weight of Gong: 10 lbs The Unlimited Gou Gong (sometimes called a Hmong Shaman Gong) has a rich history and tradition of healing and being used as a medicinal tool. This gong is heavy and thick with a turned edge, producing warm tones that are clear and linear, with less spread and overtones than a traditional Chau or Wind Gong. Approximate Weight of Gong: 12 lbs The Heng Gong has a deeper rim than other Chinese Gongs, and is a bit thicker in the bronze, but it is fully lathed like the Wind Gong. This creates a complex and marvelous mixture of sounds. Approximate Weight of Gong: 13 lbs The Lunar Flare Gong is named after the ring of brightness that appears around the moon in a photo. It has a deep sound, though not as sharp as its sister, the Solar Flare Gong. The rim focuses the sound which lingers pleasantly. There's a lightness, like the light from the moon that pierces the thick of night. Deep sound emanates and expands and transforms dark to light. Approximate Weight of Gong: 8 lbs 8 oz 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. Approximate Weight of Gong: 10 lbs The Sun Gong, what we at Gongs Unlimited call the Solar Flare Gong, is a less traditional Chinese Gong than some of the other styles. It’s 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. Approximate Weight of Gong: 6 lbs 6 oz 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. Approximate Weight of Gong: 8 lbs 8 oz The 22" White Gong has a rim like a Chau Gong but is also fully lathed like a Wind gong. As expected, the White Gong has qualities of both these traditional Chinese gongs. The full lathing creates a bright, airy sound with a shiny splash, but the rim focuses that splash, and gives clarity to the overall sound. The Chinese Wind Gong is fully lathed, leaving a bright, shiny finish. It doesn't have a rim; it is flat on the edge. This design gives the Wind Gong its splashy celebratory tone when struck with a quick fast attack. When tapped gently with a hard mallet, you will get a rich fundamental note that builds quickly to a crash with just a little bit of added power. Approximate Weight of Gong: 6 lbs 6 oz The Seaside C-Stand is fairly sturdy with a compact design that allows you to play your gong in a comfortable position on the floor or have it placed on a table or credenza. The C design allows the gong to swing on the stand and remain securely mounted.   Seaside C-Stand Measurements: Total Height: 33.75" / 85.7 cm Total Width: 28" / 71 cm Depth of Feet: 20" / 50.8 cm Foot Print: 16.75" x 20" / 42.5 x 50.8 cm Width of Each Foot at Floor: 1.25" / 3 cm Spacing Between Hooks: 9.5" / 24 cm C Frame Outer Diameter: 29.75" / 75.6 cm C Frame Inner Diameter: 27.75" / 70.5 cm Learn how to assemble this stand with Joshua, the assembly wizard:
