The Hu Yin gong is the authentic descending gong of Chinese opera! Very well made design, incorproating multi-directional latheing and hand hammering throughout the striking surface. This attention to craftsmanship creates a gong of incredible dynamic range, projection, and resonance. A solid strike has this gong decaying out audibly for well over thirty seconds or more! Although the pitch is somewhat variable, the relative tones are Western ptich G major, descending to Western pitch E major. Includes one wooden handled mallet with semi rigid head, and braided handing cord for mounting to a small gong stand or hand held playing. $124.95
