Frequently Asked Questions

Stainless steel generally produces a brighter, more immediate sustain, but it may lack the complex, evolving overtones found in bronze gongs.
A robust, adjustable gong stand with a wide base is essential; stability is key to controlling the vibrations and preventing tipping.
