Wuhan Pasi Gong

We have found the Wuhan Pasi Gong to be a very popular low pitched gong for all around use. The lipped edge on the gong creates an immediate response and long sustain. Hand made in China, it is often used for Broadway shows and small ensembles. They are a great meditation gong and small and light enough for transport. Often played hand-held, we recommend the 15" size. A beater is included.

These are "bending" gongs. The pitches are ascending and descending and create a dramatic effect.
