12" Wuhan Chau Gong and Stands

Includes: Gong rope for hanging gong on stand

Gong weight: app. 6 lbs

Gong metal: Bronze (80% copper & 20% tin)

Wuhan Chau Gongs are hand-made in China

The 12" chau has a fundamental bass tone, although its sound is not as deep as the larger gongs.  It also can produce some bell-like sounds like the 10 inch chau gong, however, it has more nuances and overtones than the 10 inch chaus.  It will produce pleasing dynamics by playing simply, gently and rhythmically.  Plus, if you want to add a strong percussive feel, play it with two mallets.
