This construction is instrument to the sound character of this gong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eWith no rim to contain and reflect vibration inward, the energy is released energy immediately and in all directions, which is why wind gongs respond the way they do. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThis is a 40-inch wind gong handcrafted in China, made to Ohm Store specifications from a B20 bronze alloy. The hammer-marks will be reflected in the face of the gong, with each strike of the hammer during shaping meant as a deliberate adjustment to the geometry of the plate, which is what determines the sound character of this Gong.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSound\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe sound comes on with this gong. A Fast attack with full frequency generates an immediate presence. At 40 inches and bronze, there is a genuine low-mid weight behind the strike, and sitting above that is a prominent shimmer in the upper register that radiates outward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe dynamic range of this instrument will span from a barely audible low hum at the softest touch to a full, room-filling crash at maximum force. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eAt soft dynamics you can hear shimmer at the upper frequencies. This is what makes a gong of this type useful in close, quiet work as much as in large performance spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eNew instruments like these benefit from being played in. Over the first several weeks of regular use, the plate's internal structure will settle and the gong will open further.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Character 風\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe character stamped above center is 風, Fēng, meaning Wind. Its earliest pictographic forms depicted a phoenix in flight.
