This 35 cm diameter medium-sized gong comes complete with a stand, making it immediately ready to use for home meditation, relaxation, sound therapy practices and ritual purposes. The rich, penetrating sound of the gong provides a unique sonic experience: a single strike creates complex waves of vibration that resonate for minutes and fill the space with sound. The medium size is an excellent compromise between volume and ease of handling.
The sound and effect of the gong
The gong is one of the oldest percussion instruments in the world. Its sound is characteristically rich, layered and sustained: alongside the fundamental tone, numerous overtones ring out simultaneously, together creating a deep, meditative soundscape. In sound therapy, the beneficial effects of gong vibrations on both body and mind are well documented. Regular gong baths (sound meditation) reduce stress, improve concentration and induce deep relaxation. In your home, this instrument helps establish meditative rituals, morning awakening and evening wind-down ceremonies.
35 cm diameter: medium-sized, but serious sound
A 35 cm gong falls into the medium category — large enough to produce a full, rich sound, yet still manageable and easy to move. Ideal for home rooms, meditation corners, yoga studios and smaller group sound therapy sessions. The included stand holds the gong securely and positions it at the right height for optimal striking. The stand is typically made from wood or metal and easy to assemble.
Ritual and spiritual use
Across Asia, the gong has long been used as a ritual and ceremonial object in numerous cultures. In a meditation room, beside an altar, or sounded at the beginning or end of the day, it lends a special spiritual quality to the moment. Its sound functions as a signal — time for a deep breath, time for attention to turn inward. Equally suited to marking the start of a long meditation, closing a sound therapy session or simply initiating a daily ritual.
Care and storage
Gong maintenance is simple: wipe regularly with a dry, soft cloth. By preserving the mallet (if included) and protecting the gong surface from impacts, the instrument can maintain its perfect condition for decades. Store in a dry, dust-protected place to ensure the metal surface retains its lustre and sound quality.
