Meinl 20 inch Wind Gong - Yin Yang

The Meinl Sonic Energy Wind Gongs are traditionally handcrafted in China by using a special bronze alloy. These gongs are also known under the name Feng or Sun Gong and have an almost flat shape. This flat shape is known for allowing the gong’s voice to fully open with a wide tonal spectrum and a long sustain. Lower tones are more dominant when played softly, but with more powerful playing the gong opens up nicely and produces wave-like overtones. Each gong ships with a beater designed to correspond with the gong size, and a cover. Yin & Yang represent harmony and balance. They describe two opposites, which, however, do not fight, but complement each other."The primal principle moves and generates Yang. When the movement reaches its end, it becomes still, and this stillness generates yin." - Alfred Forke
