The Nepali tam-tam, also known as a flat-faced gong, is a traditional musical instrument that is used in many cultures around the world, including Nepal. The tam-tam has a flat face and produces a low fundamental note followed by a burst of sound with many harmonics and overtones, which may increase in volume after the gong has been struck.
TAM TAM GONGThe Chau Gong, also known as the tam-tam, is a fascinating and versatile percussion instrument with a rich history and wide-ranging applications. Crafted from copper-based alloy, bronze, or brass, the Chau Gong features a shallow cylindrical shape with a slightly concave main surface and an upturned rim. The gong's rim extends about 1-2 inch perpendicular to the surface, giving it a distinct appearance. The center spot and rim of the Chau Gong are coated on both sides with black copper oxide, while the rest of the surface is polished to remove this coating, creating a striking visual contrast. Available in various sizes, ranging from 7 to 80 inches (18 to 203 cm) in diameter, the Chau Gong produces a mesmerizing and resonant sound that can vary in pitch and tone depending on the size and playing technique.
INCLUDED WITH THIS GONGWhen you purchase this Gong, it will come with a Felt Hitting Mallet that you can use to play the Gong.
