Collection: Gongs 12" - 18"

Gongs from 12 to 18 inches occupy a sweet spot: genuinely musical instruments with real tone and shimmer, at a size that fits a bookshelf, a therapy room, or a percussion table. In this range a chau gong delivers a surprisingly full voice with a quick crash, a wind gong answers with a bright, immediate bloom, and a tuned Thai gong — recognizable by its raised center boss — speaks a clear single note suited to melodic and ceremonial use.

These sizes will not shake a room the way a 36 inch gong does; their fundamentals sit higher and their sustain is shorter, which is exactly what makes them practical for apartments, classrooms, massage practices, and moments of punctuation within a sound healing session. They are also among the most giftable gongs we sell, especially paired with a small stand and mallet. Every gong in this range is made from the same bronze as our largest instruments and selected with the same ear. Most are in stock, orders before 1pm PST ship the same day, and we record audio for many so you can hear a specific gong before it ships.
