These quality bronze Hankou Gongs (or Tam Tams) are hand made in Wuhan, China. The bronze is an alloy of 77% copper and 23% tin and is virgin material, not recycled bronze as used in some cheaper inferior gongs on the market! They are slightly convex with a slight rim, the centre spot is left coated on both sides with the black copper oxide that forms during the manufacture of the gong, the rest of the gong is polished to remove this coating.
Hankou Gongs give you a distinct gong sound that is responsive enough to produce rich overtones with an enormously wide range of volume. The sound is very grounding, at the same time melodic with an organic quality, making these gongs very popular with sound therapists. As the Hankou or Sunrise Gongs are more fully lathed than a conventional Chau Gong they tend to be more open and expansive in sound.
If you are interested in these gongs, we would recommend arranging an appointment to try out these unique gongs.
Supplied with padded carry case and soft mallet.
Available from stock in 3 sizes.
As these gongs are handmade all sizes are approximate.
