Unlimited Heng Gongs
Vendor: Gongs Unlimited
A clear strike. A deep, unfolding resonance. Heng Gongs pair a fully lathed bronze face with a deeper rim and thicker construction than many other Chinese gong styles, creating a complex blend of focused tones and shimmering harmonics.
Smaller sizes can produce a bell-like clarity, depending on the mallet and playing technique. Larger sizes offer a deeper rumble and a powerful, expansive voice. Gentle taps reveal subtle textures; firmer strikes bring greater intensity.
Each gong includes a traditional Chinese gong mallet. Choose from twelve diameters: 12", 14", 16", 18", 20", 22", 24", 26", 28", 30", 32", and 36".
