The Original Singing Gongs

Individually selected gongs with their own voice and character

Our Original Singing Gongs are handmade from bell bronze, also known as Bell Metal—the same high-quality bronze alloy used in the finest Himalayan Singing Bowls. Made exclusively for Silence In Sound to our specifications for weight and thickness, they are designed to produce exceptional responsiveness, long sustain, richly layered overtones and a broad dynamic range.

Each gong has its own tonal centre, harmonic character and evolving voice. Even two gongs of the same size and style can respond very differently. For this reason, every available Original Singing Gong is listed individually with its measured hum tone, allowing you to explore the qualities of the actual instrument offered for sale.

​Designed for Mallets and Flumies

Original Singing Gongs respond beautifully to traditional gong mallets, producing deep fundamental tones, expanding waves of sound and complex harmonic movement.

They are also specifically designed to perform exceptionally well with Professional Flumies. Friction playing opens the gong into a wider world of sustained textures, rising frequencies, vocal-like tones and ethereal harmonics that cannot be achieved through mallet playing alone.

Styles, Sizes and Finishes

The collection includes Wind/Feng, Chau/Tam Tam and HENG-style gongs in a range of sizes. Depending on availability, finishes include plain bronze, raw antiqued and distinctive hand-etched designs.

Every genuine Original Singing Gong carries the Silence In Sound etched logo on the reverse, confirming its authenticity.

Listen Online or Visit Our Mid Wales Studio

Only a representative selection of our Original Singing Gongs appears online. A more extensive collection is available to explore at our listening studio in Machynlleth, Mid Wales.
