The Sela Symphonic Gongs are masterfully handcrafted instruments. Each of the symphonic gongs is visually unique and is made in Spain. They are available in sizes 20, 24, 34, 36 and 38 inches. The larger the model, the deeper and more voluminous the sound when struck. Each model comes with a protective cotton cover, which allows the gong to be protected from external influences such as dust even when hanging.
The Sela Symphonic gong has a traditional shape with a rim that curves backwards. It is dark-colored on the outer edge and has a golden sheen in the middle. The gong's characteristic appearance with its many shimmering shades of color is created by the intense heating during tuning and shaping.
Gongs are an integral part of many cultures around the world and produce calming, long-lasting, esoteric sounds. Depending on how strongly, where and with what the Sela Symphonic Gong is struck, different frequency ranges come to the fore. It can be played in many more ways than it first appears.
Because of their relaxing effect, gongs are used in meditation and sound therapy, among other things, as their vibrations penetrate the whole body. But percussionists also like to use a gong as a special effect in musical and orchestral contexts.
