Our Chinese gongs are made in Wuhan China by the same gong makers who make the recognized name brands. The only difference: We don"t put a big ink stamp on the front to make it ugly. * We don"t ship until we personally check the sound of each gong. * Unless noted, all our gongs are high quality bronze. It"s some good soundin" metal! * If you have specific sonic needs, contact us and we will work to satisfy them. * Need to hear this gong? Contact us and we"ll be happy to send you a sound sample or play it for you live!
