The Meinl Sonic Energy Indian Premium Wind Gong is traditionally handcrafted in India by using a special bronze alloy. Due to its nearly flat shape, the vibration of the gong spreads out extremely wide with a long sustain. The sound characteristic is mainly low pitched, and by playing the gong more powerfully it opens up nicely with sizzling overtones. This gong comes with a Meinl Sonic Energy Table Gong Stand (TMTGS-L).
