Amazon.com Review
Inspired by a blend of traditional and contemporary Asian aesthetics, this gong has a graceful, fluid design. A polished 10-inch brass gong hangs from sweeping arcs of ash wood, and produces a deep-throated harmonic ringing as it is rung by the round, rubber-edged striker. Secured with black nylon strands, the Emperor Gong is weather-resistant, measures 34-1/2 by 13 inches, and, in addition to providing calming wind-music, is useful for signaling the start of dinner or meditation. Musician Gary Kvistad founded Woodstock Chimes in 1979, and today the family-owned company produces a wide range of handcrafted, precision-tuned chimes. A one-year warranty covers the gong against defects. --Ann Bieri

Customer Reviews

Wonderful Sound, Beautiful Design, Great Price
As someone who has experience in Eastern and Western cultures, I found this gong to be beautiful and totally authentic in its rich sound of the Far East. (In fact, it's made in China!) I also think its graceful design truly captures the culture's splendor. I've seen it sold elsewhere at the full list price and understand it's always a best-seller! And it's very durable!

Chime sounds as interesting as it looks
The Emperor Gong chime looks great and sounds interesting and pleasant. It isn't loud like a gong, but more delicate. The tone is unlike any other chime I have. I gave one as a gift and they loved it.

Doesn't gong!
Have had this gong hanging in 3 different places outside my house...even in the strongest of wind, it doesn't gong. The whole thing blows, but, never does the striker actually hit the gong. Save your money!
