Easy to Handle, Serious Sound — MEINL Sonic Energy Chau Tam-Tam 34"
The MEINL Sonic Energy Chau Tam-Tam at 34 inches (86 cm) was designed for professionals who seek deep, full gong resonance — while also valuing manageability, portability and space-efficient storage. The 86 cm disc is large enough to produce genuine, rich Chau gong sound, yet still fits into smaller studios, busy workshops and even personal meditation spaces.
The Chau-style turned-over rim and MEINL precise craftsmanship apply at this size as well: the fundamental is deep and distinct, the overtones build in layers, and the sustain is sufficient for the listener to fully immerse in the sound. The 34-inch gong sound is not as monumental as the 40-48 inch versions — but its complexity and depth come surprisingly close.
Best Applications
- Smaller and medium yoga and meditation groups — 5 to 15 participants
- Mobile sound healing work — workshops, courses, events
- As a first professional instrument for sound therapist students
- Individual and pair sound healing sessions
- Permanent studio instrument in smaller meditation spaces
The Advantage of Portability
The 34-inch size is also special because many therapists can move and set it up alone — which can be a serious challenge with larger sizes. This flexibility is particularly valuable for those who regularly travel to different venues with their gong.
What Is Included
The 34-inch Chau Tam-Tam gong arrives with a matched beater and protective cover. The beater suits the gong in size and character; the cover protects the surface during storage and transport.
