A gong that moves with you

At 50 cm, you can hold it by its cord while you play, walk among the people lying in a sound bath and bring the sound close to each of them, then let it fade as you move away.

It is just as much at home hanging in a quiet corner, for daily practice, meditation, or as a brighter voice beside a larger gong.

Choose its note

Every Handheld Gong is tuned to the fundamental you choose, anywhere from G2 to G3. If you are unsure, start with A2, A♯2 or B2: the notes we recommend most for this size.

Shaped, tuned and coloured by hand

Shaped by hand in Valencia, through several rounds of tuning and heat treatment. The heat stabilises the steel and leaves gold, violet and blue tones: no two gongs look alike. Care is simple: a microfibre cloth and 96% alcohol. Why stainless steel?
