The Sela Wind Gongs are real masterpieces, handmade in China from a special bronze alloy. They are available in sizes 20, 24, 28, 32 and 36 inches. The larger the model, the deeper and also more voluminous the sound when struck. The scope of delivery of each model includes a mallet made of maple with a plastic head with velvet cover and a carrying bag with zip.
The Sela Wind Gong Standard has an almost flat shape with the outer rim not bent backwards. It has a shimmering golden finish, with the outer rim, the middle and the area in between each treated or turned down to different degrees.
Gongs are an integral part of many cultures around the world and produce soothing, long-lasting, esoteric sounds. Depending on how hard, where and with what the Sela Wind Gong is struck, different frequency ranges come to the fore. It can be played in a much more versatile way than it might seem at first.
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.
