Meinl - Wind Gongs (16"-24")

Description Handcrafted masterpieces, known for their wide tonal spectrum and long sustain, Meinl’s Sonic Energy Wind Gongs are expertly hand-forged in China from a special bronze alloy. This ancient design allows the gong’s voice to fully open, producing a broad tonal range. When played softly, rich, low tones emerge. As you increase the intensity, the gong opens up to reveal wave-like overtones that swell with power. Each Meinl Wind Gong includes a matching beater to draw out its full tonal spectrum.
