The surrounding border includes dotted rings, lotus medallions, and a broad outer band of floral and vine ornament.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe tone here is centered around a low A2, with A3 and A#3 partials above it that give the sustain a narrow, focused upper color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlayed with a soft mallet it opens with a strong low body and a measured shimmer above it, then settles into a steady bass-heavy decay.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe character is calm and centered, with the A2 voice doing most of the work while the upper partials add enough lift to keep the sustain from feeling flat.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlaying will favor a single clean strike and a slow roll that lets the low tone gather like water under the lotus stems. It sounds like a different instrument depending on how you choose to play it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt The Ohm Store every instrument is selected as a resonator first and a visual object second.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is only one gong available like this, and you're receiving the exact gong that's pictured and recorded here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis gong does not include a gong stand.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"The Ohm Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52537234129183,"sku":"DS-gong-0017","price":1499.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1859\/9867\/files\/IMG_6430_d11cdb98-0d34-436e-b5e2-60e790448367.jpg?v=1778627535","url":"https:\/\/www.theohmstore.co\/products\/27-inch-bronze-gong-handmade-in-nepal-one-of-one-0017","provider":"The Ohm Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
