40" Om Mani Padme Hum Original Singing Gong – Wind/Feng – 54Hz A1

The Original Singing Gongs
 
The Original Singing Gongs are made exclusively for Silence In Sound and manufactured to our own specifications for weight, thickness and tonal response. Each gong is designed to maximise resonance, sustain, harmonic complexity and responsiveness to both traditional gong mallets and Professional Flumies.
 
Made from B20 bell bronze—the same traditional Bell Metal alloy used in the finest Himalayan Singing Bowls—these distinctive instruments combine visual character with a rich, evolving sound.
 
Authentic Original Singing Gongs
 
Beware of imitations. Every genuine Original Singing Gong carries the Silence In Sound etched logo on the reverse.
 
Our gongs are not generic instruments with an applied name. They are produced specifically for Silence In Sound to carefully defined requirements for:
Bronze thickness
Overall weight
Tonal balance
Sustain
Overtone development
Mallet response
Flumie response
 
These specifications help create a gong that is both powerful and sensitive, with a broad tonal range and a highly responsive playing surface.
 
Plain and Hand-Etched Finishes
 
Original Singing Gongs are available in three distinctive finishes:
Fine Etching
Standard Etching
Plain Bronze
 
Each gong has its own individual appearance, enhanced by the natural character of the bronze and the chosen finish.
 
Rich Resonance and Complex Overtones
 
Every Original Singing Gong has its own visual and tonal character. Depending on its size, profile and playing technique, each gong can produce deep fundamental tones, layered overtones, shimmering harmonics and long, evolving resonance.
 
Our specified weight and thickness encourage tonal depth, controlled movement and sustained harmonic development.
 
Original Singing Gongs respond beautifully to traditional gong mallets, producing powerful low frequencies, expanding tonal waves and a wide dynamic range.
 
They are also specifically designed to perform exceptionally well with Professional Flumies. Friction playing can reveal ethereal harmonics, vocal-like tones, rising frequencies and sustained textures that cannot be produced with a mallet alone.
 
Chau, Wind and HENG Gong Styles
The Original Singing Gongs are available in three distinctive styles:
 
Chau Gong — Tam Tam Style
The Chau Gong has a turned edge and a more contained, focused tonal response. It is capable of producing deep fundamental tones, complex harmonics and dramatic dynamic movement.
 
Wind Gong — Feng Style
The Wind Gong has a flatter profile with little or no turned rim. It responds quickly and produces a broad, expanding wash of sound with rich upper harmonics.
 
HENG Gong
The HENG Gong offers a distinctive profile and tonal response, producing rich sustain and complex harmonic movement. Its responsive surface performs effectively with both traditional gong mallets and Professional Flumies.
