27 Inch Bronze Gong Handmade In Nepal One of One 0004

This is a 27 Inch Hand-Hammered Nepali Temple Gong One of a Kind

Nepali temple gongs are hand-hammered in the Kathmandu Valley by bronze craftsmen specialists.

This one is 27 inches across, hammered from a bronze in the bell-metal family, patinated dark, and finished with a full iconography that is unique to this one gong.

Metatron's Cube is the central feature of this gong, the thirteen-circle figure from Western sacred geometry.

A six-pointed star sits at its heart around a smaller rose-window mandala.

The iconography here draws from the Western esoteric tradition. 

The tone here is an A3 carried on a G2 roughly an octave beneath it, with a dense mid-register cluster from G#3 through E4 that fills the middle of the spectrum.

Played with a soft mallet it builds slowly and opens to a long decay, with shimmer that comes from close partial pairs beating against each other roughly every second or two.

The character is warm and centered, holding the middle of the spectrum while the undertone anchors beneath.

Playing will favor a rolled crescendo and it rewards a single clean strike. It sounds like a different instrument depending on how you choose to play it.

At The Ohm Store every instrument is selected as a resonator first and a visual object second.

There is only one gong available like this, and you're receiving the exact gong that's pictured and recorded here.

This gong does not include a gong stand.
