The Nepalese gong (Chinese: “tam-tam”) is a traditional percussion instrument with East Asian origins. The sound is rich, with minimal noise and prolonged resonance. The tone at the edge is significantly lighter, making this visually impressive gong pleasantly accessible for playing. Nepalese gongs are favored in both concert halls and meditative spaces. A soft mallet produces a deep, resonant, and mysterious sound, while a hard mallet provides a sharp, clear, and rapidly rising sound. Mallet included.
