Weiss Hand Selected Sun Gong

Comments:

This 28 Inch Gong is a bargain for the quality and depth of beautiful sound. All I could say was "wow" on first contact. Blew me away!

I was looking for a smaller (28/30"), but deep sounding gong to add to my set up. All the wind gongs I tried were too thin, with too many high overtones tax would obscure the initial deep sound. I found a 28" Sun Gong at the Gong Summit this past July (2019) and it was love at first strike! The sun's are heavier/stiffer than the wind gongs, yet not as much as a chau--they really offer the best of both. The 28" has a deep sound/low pitch that doesn't disappear as you keep playing it. There are some higher overtones, but they are much more controlled than a wind gong. At only 28", it is deeper/lower sounding than some bigger gongs I own!

A beautiful sounding gong, and it came very well wrapped. I always wanted a bigger gong to use along with my 22 inch wind gong and 18 inch Heng gong all from Steve Weiss. Thank you Steve for having free shipping so I could buy this wonderful gong!

I cannot say enough about this awesome instrument - hand picked is definitely the way to go! - In my opinion, the sound this 28 inch gong is capable of rivals that of a 32 inch Paiste or Meinl - in my extensive gong collection, this one is my current favorite! By far.

This gong is an incredible addition to my collection. I have purchased several gongs from Steve Weiss and have never been disappointed. Currently, I have 16", 22", and 28" Wind Gongs in my collection, which are absolutely beautiful and give that roaring low-end white noise that just resonates so well. For this gong, I wanted similar characteristics, but something a little more dry and focused. The Sun Gong is absolutely perfect for just that. It has amazing tone, stunning visual appearance, and can easy fit into a cymbal bag to take to your next gig. I highly recommend this one for the gong collector, church percussionist (Psalms 150:5), or anyone just wanting a really great item to have for home decor.
