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, with a small rose-window mandala at the heart.

The outer ring is a traditional Nepali floral scroll in gold leaf, and lotus blooms at the bottom of the field. 

The design holds Western sacred geometry in a Nepali ornamental design. Brilliant mix!

The tone here is a D#4 carried on an F2 nearly two octaves beneath it, with a dense upper-mid cluster around A4 and C5 that gives the instrument its bright voice.

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 bright through the middle and upper register, with the low undertone holding beneath to keep the instrument grounded.

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.
