Chau gongs are traditional instruments used for their meditative, therapeutic and musical applications. Known for their deep fundamentals and rich overtone spectrum, they produce long-lasting vibrations and respond sensitively to different playing techniques and dynamics.
The Yin–Yang design features a polished metal surface with contrasting light and dark areas defining the symbol. Fine circular surface textures radiate outward from the center, creating visual depth and subtle variations. These differences influence the response and overtone distribution, while the central Yin–Yang motif forms the visual focal point and emphasizes balance between tonal stability and harmonic movement.
