Sound character
The Classic head sits at a medium softness – audibly clean fundamental, yet it does not damp the overtones. The aluminium shaft is more flexible than wood, which reduces hand fatigue in long sessions. Suitable for both concert and sound-massage work.
Typical uses
Playing 70–110 cm concert gongs, feng gongs or symphonic gongs. Sound baths, sound massage, demonstrations, school music lessons. The Classic aluminium version was developed specifically for players who want to carry less weight or fit it into a mobile sound-therapy kit.
Why the Classic?
- Aluminium shaft: lighter than wood, good for quick tempos.
- Accurate sizing: optimised for 70–110 cm gongs.
- Colour coding: the light green mark simplifies quick identification.
Handling tips
Always strike perpendicular to the centre of the gong, never on the rim. Don't dry the head next to a radiator – it can deform. Store horizontally.
