The right gong for your application

Sound, size, type and purpose all play an important role when choosing a gong. Each of Sela’s gong types has its own sound character — from deep and earthy to bright and open, all the way to balanced and clear.

Weight is also important: the larger the gong, the fuller and deeper the sound. Small gongs (20–30 cm) are ideal for small rooms or travel, medium gongs (40–60 cm) work well for meditation and workshops, and large gongs (70–120 cm) are perfect for sound baths and performances.

 For meditative yoga and relaxation sessions, a Wind gong — with its bright, freely vibrating tones — is ideal. A Feng gong produces particularly light, open overtones. The symphonic gong is also suitable for calm sound journeys. The Chau gong produces deep, earthy tones and is perfect for stage and sound baths.

Buy gongs in bronze or nickel silver

Depending on the model, Sela gongs are made either from a special bronze alloy or from nickel silver. Both materials are durable, robust and high‑quality — the decision mainly depends on the desired sound character.

Bronze produces a warmer, fuller sound with deep vibrations and rich overtones — ideal for meditation, sound baths and atmospheric sound work. Because bronze reacts slightly to humidity and touch, the gong should be wiped dry after playing and occasionally polished and kept dust‑free with a soft cloth.

Nickel silver sounds brighter, clearer and more focused, with direct response and defined resonance. This makes it especially suitable for musical performance or situations where a precise, brilliant gong sound is needed. It is more resistant to corrosion than bronze, but should still be wiped regularly, protected from moisture, and gently polished when necessary.

Chau gongs – powerful, deep and grounding

Chau gongs are made from a high-quality bronze alloy and, thanks to their generally higher weight, produce a warm, full and powerful sound. They are ideal for intensive sound baths and energetic sessions in combination with singing bowls when you want an especially earthy overall sound. Their clear shape with a raised rim creates strong vibrations and often looks visually impressive – especially with decorative lotus engraving.

Wind gongs – bright, open and widely resonating

Wind gongs are often referred to as Feng gongs or simply “Feng” and are ideal for meditation and relaxation sessions, delicate sound spaces and sound healing where a light, far-carrying tone is desired. At Sela you’ll find this design as a classically flat gong that responds quickly, develops many overtones and has a low weight. The open, floating sound of wind gongs harmonises particularly well with singing bowls and can easily be combined with a suitable gong stand.

Symphonic gongs – clear, versatile and balanced

Symphonic gongs combine depth and openness, making them the most versatile models, suitable for both meditation and the stage. Available in nickel silver, they deliver a balanced sound that is both musically detailed and pleasantly rounded. With medium weight, finely crafted surfaces and optional engraving, they are excellent for musical performances, studio use or, in combination with singing bowls, for professional sound work.

High-quality accessories for your gong

To match our gongs, we offer accessories made of powder-coated steel that showcase your gong perfectly while also providing reliable support. Black table gong stands in two sizes can be placed on a table or on the floor and also serve as decorative design elements. The stand allows the gong to swing freely and thus unfold its optimal sound.

The Gong Stand with rectangular frame is the ideal choice for medium to large gongs. Thanks to its reinforced steel construction, it holds the gong securely while still allowing it to swing freely. It can be assembled quickly, and locking brakes on the castors provide stability.

The robust Gong Stand Pro is the most stable of our gong stands and is also suitable for very large gongs. Its strong steel construction supports even heavy weights and can be assembled and disassembled with ease.

FAQs Gongs

Gongs combine well with instruments that also create soft vibrations and harmonic overtones. Singing bowls are especially popular because they gently support the gong sound and together create a wide-open sound space. Handpans, tongue drums, frame drums or flutes are also excellent additions and bring extra colors into the overall sound. In meditative sessions, this creates a balanced setup that can be used in many different ways.

Engraving gives a gong a special handcrafted touch and emphasises its aesthetic presence. On some models, Sela uses decorative engraving elements in a lotus design that blend harmoniously into the surface. The engraving does not affect the sound, but creates visual points of calm – particularly in combination with singing bowls. When playing, hanging or displaying the gong, the engraving is always an elegant eye-catcher that highlights the character of the instrument.

The weight of a gong affects how deep, loud and intense its vibrations are. A Feng gong sounds brighter and responds quickly, while larger models such as Chau or symphonic gongs produce broader, fuller sound waves. A Feng model is suitable for clear, open tones, whereas a larger gong develops more power and presence.
Also consider additional sound sources such as singing bowls if you want to combine different instruments to create a coherent overall sound.
