Description

Chao Gong is a very elegant and distinctive gong that produces a long-lasting and full, rich sound. Its beauty and traditional appearance make it the centerpiece of any space, both indoors and outdoors. Chao-style gongs come from China, from the Han dynasty, where they were used, among other things, during spiritualistic séances and large meetings. In modern times, Chao gongs have found their place in various musical genres, especially in symphony orchestras. Chao Gong, otherwise known as tam-tam, is one of the most famous Chinese gongs. The chao gong differs in shape from the wind gong in that it has a rim around the outer edge. It is made of a bronze alloy that is approximately 80% copper and 20% tin, and the craftsmanship process is a mixture of hand forging and turning the bronze on a lathe while carefully heating and cooling the metal. On a Chao gong, the central spot and outer edge retain the black copper oxide that forms during the creation of the gong. On the rest of the gong, this coating is removed and the surface is polished. Chao gongs come in a variety of sizes, with each size having its own clear, full sound. The smaller sizes have a rich but higher pitched sound, while the larger sizes are deeper and sound longer and with more power.

Dedicated size gong stick included.
