Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, due to the handmade process, each Tam Tam will have subtle variations in pitch, overtones, and sustain, making each one unique.
Smaller, softer felt or cord mallets generally produce the 'inwhale' sound, emphasizing the higher harmonics and creating a more delicate tone.
You'll need a heavy-duty, purpose-built gong stand with a wide base and a stable clamping mechanism to safely support and dampen vibrations.
