📎 Other Specifications

A beautifully crafted mirror gong that offers a balanced combination of aesthetic beauty and rich, dynamic sound.

Its smooth, polished finish not only gives it a striking appearance, but also provides a pleasant tactile experience when played with friction mallets (or "flumies").

Most importantly, this finish allows for sustained, wide-spectrum tones that resonate deeply, making it an ideal choice for meditation, sound therapy, or musical performances.

The hammered edge of the gong, with its subtle and slightly irregular depressions, contributes to a varied soundscape. Each strike produces a different layer of harmonics, offering the flexibility to explore a wide range of tones.

Whether you use a soft stroke or a more energetic one, the sound changes with the touch, offering a versatile tool for musicians and sound therapists.

The unique hammered rim design enhances the gong's ability to adapt to different playing techniques, producing a sound that is both soothing and complex. Its wide tonal range and nuanced harmonics make it particularly suitable for those who wish to explore both the meditative qualities and the expressive potential of gong playing.

Each gong comes with a basic mallet, ideal for everyday use such as beginning or ending meditation sessions. For more advanced sound exploration, we recommend pairing the gong with a variety of mallets and friction sticks to unlock its full potential.

The gong produces a wide range of sounds, depending on the percussion instruments used:

• Soft Mallet: Creates a deep, resonant, and mysterious sound that builds and expands slowly in space.
• Hard mallet: delivers a high, clear, rising sound that travels through space and fades quickly.
• Rubber beater: produces a compact, defined sound with fewer overtones, ideal for specific musical accents.

Each of these playing instruments allows the musician to adapt the emotional and acoustic impact of the gong to the specific needs of the performance or setting.

🌺 Symbolism

The mandala symbolizes harmony, unity, and inner balance.
