Sound and character
How a gong sounds depends strongly on the stand it hangs from. This holder is stable yet flexible: it does not choke the vibrations, and every register from low bass to clear overtones can speak freely. For 55 cm gongs in particular, it is essential that the suspension does not tense against the rim — and the slanted pillar ensures exactly that.
How to use
Place the stand on a level, stable floor, and hang your gong from it using its own cord. Strike the surface tangentially with momentum, never with hard impact. The stand is at home in a sound therapy practice, a yoga room, a ceremonial space or a private practice room.
Why this product
You are taking home a stand from a real workshop, made from sustainable sources. The natural posture of beech holds for decades, and the form remains neither acoustically nor visually tiring. If you often work with a 55 cm gong, it deserves a worthy support.
Care tips
- Store in a dry place at moderate temperature, away from direct sunlight.
- Once a year you can wipe the surface with a soft cloth and a little hard-wax oil.
- For transport, pack the parts separately and protect the wooden edges from impact.
- Handle tools gently during assembly to avoid injury.
