STEP INTO A SANCTUARY OF GONGS

Private, by-appointment showroom visits — play hundreds of gongs before you buy
The Gong Shop showroom — a wall of gongs on racks

There's nothing quite like standing in a room surrounded by hundreds of gongs and hearing them come alive. Our showroom is open by private appointment only — for one full hour, the entire space is yours. No crowds, no rush: just you, a personal gong ambassador to guide you, and wall after wall of gongs waiting to be played.

Book Your Private Appointment

What your visit includes

  • A private, one-hour session — just for you. You'll be the only customer in the showroom, with 100s of gongs to explore at your own pace.
  • Your own gong ambassador. One of our gong experts stays with you the whole time to demonstrate, compare tones, and help you find the gong that speaks to you.
  • Play before you buy. Hear the difference between sizes, brands and tunings in person — by far the best way to choose a gong you'll love for life.
  • Worth the trip. Visitors travel from across California and the West to experience the showroom in person. Whether you're local to the Bay Area or just in town, it's an experience in itself.
