Frequently Asked Questions

Hand-hammering introduces subtle pitch variations and tonal nuances; expect a unique sonic signature, but it will generally be within a consistent range for a 56” Tam Gong.
Stainless steel is far more resistant to rust and corrosion than bronze, making it a better choice for outdoor use, although protection from extreme weather is still recommended.
The sheer size demands a more deliberate and controlled striking motion; smaller mallets are often preferred to avoid overpowering the resonance.
