Collection: Gongs 32" to 40"

From 32 to 40 inches, gongs take on the presence most people associate with a true gong bath: a fundamental you feel in the chest, overtones that keep unfolding, and sustain measured in long, slow breaths. This is the working range for many professional sound healers — big enough to carry a full room, still manageable for one person to transport with the right stand and bag. The collection spans Chinese chau gongs, with their lathed black-dot center and powerful blend of tone and wash, flat wind gongs that crash open instantly, and symphonic-style instruments from German and American makers.

When comparing, listen for how each gong balances fundamental against shimmer — at this size the differences between makers become vivid, which is why we record audio of many of these instruments so you can hear the exact gong you are considering. Plan for the stand at the same time as the gong; a 36 inch instrument deserves a stable home. We hand-select these larger gongs individually, and our showrooms in San Francisco and Los Angeles are the rare places you can stand in front of several and let your ears decide.
