Collection: Music
Gongs are instruments first, and this collection is for people who play them as such. Here you will find tuned Thai gongs in specific pitches — used in orchestras and ensembles where a precise note matters — alongside chau gongs, wind gongs, tiger gongs, and opera gongs whose ascending or descending bend of pitch has punctuated Chinese opera for generations. Choosing comes down to the sound your music calls for: a chau gong gives the classic fundamental with a controlled crash, a flat wind gong blooms fast with a bright wash, and a tuned Thai gong, with its raised center boss, speaks a clear, focused note that sits cleanly in a mix or a score.
Size matters too — larger gongs reach deeper fundamentals and sustain longer, while smaller ones respond quickly at lower dynamics. Percussionists, composers, and theater companies have been sourcing instruments from us since 2012, and we record audio of many gongs so you can audition the exact instrument you are buying. If you need a specific note or a matched set, ask — our tuned gongs run four octaves, and we know the inventory by ear.
