Chau Gongs

The Chau gong, also known as Tam tams, has now become an integral element in sound therapy and meditation. However, it has held a crucial role in traditional Chinese and Asian music and culture for an extended period. Characterized by a broad, flat face and a turned-up rim, Chao gongs boast a distinctive appearance. Typically crafted from bronze or other alloys, they generate a diverse range of tones, spanning from deep and resonant to bright and penetrating. The turned-up rim contributes to the intricate nature of the gong's sound. The sound produced by the Chao gong can vary significantly based on factors such as size, thickness, and the manner of play. Utilized with a mallet or gong beater, the striking technique becomes a determinant in shaping the resulting sound. The gongs are available from 16 inches(40cm) to 32 inches(82cm)
