Wuhan Chau Gong Combo on WU322A Gong Stand 28" - 36"

Includes gong, gong stand, and gong mallet. The large end of the Chau range, supplied with the stand built to carry it. A hand-hammered Wuhan Chau gong from 28" to 36", the heavier-gauge Wuhan WU322A floor stand, and a mallet. At these diameters the Chau stops being an accent and becomes the instrument in the room. The fundamental drops well below anything a smaller gong can produce, and the wash after a full strike keeps unfolding for the better part of a minute. Each gong starts as a bronze casting and is hand-hammered out to its finished diameter in Wuhan, China.
