Dream Chau 16" Black Dot Gong

The Chau gong represents the most commonly thought of version of the gong. It is used in symphony orchestras the world over, sometimes being referred to as a tam-tam. It is not specifically pitched, containing a broad and complex combination of frequencies coupled with tremendous dynamic range and sustain. The edge of the gong is turned back forming a lip which greatly supports the low frequencies present in the sound.
