A#2+45 Grotta Sonora 24" King Gong

The Grotta Sonora 24" King Gong brings the King Gong's voice to a more compact, versatile form. It delivers everything that has made the classic 32" a favorite - the sweeping, "windy" wash of a traditional Chinese wind gong, enriched by Grotta Sonora's signature harmonic tuning at the center - in a size that's easier to travel with, hang in smaller spaces, or integrate into a layered sound setup.

With its flat profile and tapered edge, this gong responds quickly and opens into a shimmering cascade of overtones. The harmonically tuned center adds depth and balance to the sound, giving it a richness that goes well beyond its size.

As with every Grotta Sonora instrument, each 24" King Gong is meticulously handmade, meaning no two are exactly alike. Expect a unique visual design, a distinct character, and a sound that is entirely its own.

A Note About Gong Sizes
Each of our gongs is a unique, handmade item. Because of this, the actual size may vary slightly. We typically find that most gongs will be approximately 1/4" to 1/2" smaller than their stated size.

Fundamental Notes
The listed note and octave represent the gong's primary center tone. While we do our best to capture an accurate representation of this note, the actual tone can vary based on volume and overtones. Please refer to the sound file for the best example of the gong's sound.
