Gong With Wooden Stand 80cm Black

A 80 cm handmade gong in a black finish with a decorative surface pattern hammered into the metal, mounted in a carved Albasia wood stand. Made in Bali from hand-hammered metal, this is a large, commanding piece designed as a floor-standing centrepiece — functional as a musical instrument and striking as a decorative object. What This Gong Offers Hand-hammered metal produces a resonant, sustained tone when struck with the included mallet. The sound carries well in medium to large rooms. The carved Albasia wood stand is a decorative piece in its own right — finished in a black tone that complements the metal gong disc. Used in yoga studios, meditation spaces, sound therapy sessions, and as a home accent piece. The sound serves as a timer, a signal, or simply a pleasing resonance. Weighs approximately 16 kg total — substantial enough to feel high-quality, and the stand keeps the gong stable during play. Albasia Wood Stand, Hand-Hammered Metal The gong disc is hand-hammered from metal in the traditional Balinese manner. The black stand is carved from Albasia wood, a lightweight tropical timber that is easy to carve and takes finishes well. The stand features an ornate carved dragon figure on top, adding approximately 1 m of decorative height above the main support structure. The gong itself weighs about 9 kg, with the mallet measuring 12 cm. Total weight: approximately 16 kg. Comes with a mallet. Made in Indonesia. Playing and Care Strike the gong near its centre with the included mallet for the deepest tone. Striking closer to the edge produces a higher, thinner sound. Experiment with strike force — a gentle tap gives a soft, lingering hum, while a firm strike produces a full, room-filling resonance. Wipe the gong disc with a dry cloth to maintain its finish. Keep the wooden stand dry and away from sustained moisture. Gongs in Balinese Tradition Gongs have been central to ceremonial life in Bali and Java for centuries, used in gamelan ensembles and temple ceremonies to mark transitions, signal gatherings, and accompany ritual. The instrument's deep, sustained tone has also made it popular in contemporary sound therapy and meditation practice, where practitioners use gong sound to create an immersive auditory environment. Common Questions How loud is a 80 cm gong? Volume depends on how hard you strike. A gentle tap produces a soft hum. A firm strike with the mallet fills a room. The 80 cm size produces a deeper, more resonant tone than smaller gongs. Can this gong be used for sound therapy or yoga sessions? Yes. Gongs of this size and construction are commonly used in sound baths, yoga classes, and meditation groups. The sustained resonance makes them effective as session markers or as continuous sound instruments. Is the wooden stand sturdy enough for regular use? Yes. The stand is designed to hold the gong securely during play. It is stable on flat surfaces and does not require wall mounting.
