The Meinl Sonic Energy Wind Gongs are traditionally handcrafted in China by using a special bronze alloy. These gongs are also known under the name Feng or Sun Gong and have an almost flat shape. This flat shape is known for allowing the gong's voice to fully open with a wide tonal spectrum and a long sustain. Lower tones are more dominant when played softly, but with more powerful playing the gong opens up nicely and produces wave-like overt ones. For sound healing therapy, meditation and yoga, Meinl Sonic Energy Wind Gongs are made to produce sounds and vibrations that calm your senses, making it easy to relax, center yourself and block out distraction as you sit back and listen to them. This gong ships with a beater sized to correspond with the gong size.
