Frequently Asked Questions

The Suzu is much higher pitched and brighter, creating a tinkling sound, whereas this gong offers a deeper, more sustained tone.
A soft, wrapped mallet will produce the most pleasing tones; avoid hard mallets which can create a harsh, metallic sound.
It's a standard bronze alloy blend, primarily copper and tin – the exact recipe is proprietary to Asian Sound, but it’s typical for gongs in this price range.
