A huge diameter with an extremely long sustain. The Meinl Sonic Energy Wind Gong is handcrafted in China from a special bronze alloy. This alloy offers exceptional durability and a dominating resonant tone. Also known as Feng or Sun Gongs the Wind Gongs have an almost flat shape allowing the vibration to spread out extremely wide and provide a long sustain. The Meinl Sonic Energy Wind Gong produces a low-pitched sound which opens up nicely with sizzling overtones when played more powerfully. Each gong includes a beater designed specifically to get the best sound out of the corresponding gong size.
The Meinl Sonic Energy Wind Gong 48 would be best suited for percussionists, drumlines, or anyone interested in adding a colorful, cymbal-like sound to their ensemble.
