Tam Tam Gong 30cm

They have 3 zones with different colors and thicknesses. The center and the rim are black and a central golden area is lowered and therefore finer.
Comes with a traditional-style fabric ball mallet and sturdy rope for hanging
Material: 7 metals

Gong Made in Wuhan (China) in a traditional way
The gongs can have different sound even if they are of the same size since the sound also depends on the thickness and any small variation that may have occurred in its construction, as it is handmade. If you are interested in any size, you can request sound samples of those we have available.

This triple brass mouth harp is tuned as a melodic unit. Each one of the three reeds is tuned to a tonic from which you can produce all its harmonics. It can be understood as a pocket polyphonic synthesizer for experimental musicians. The instrument body is so solid that it does not vibrate when played. The reeds allows great movement versatility without generating tension on the jaw.
