How Grotta Sonora harmonized sets are matched
Each set is matched by complementary musical intervals — a perfect fifth, an octave, or a major chord — chosen so two or three gongs work together as one voice. A Grotta gong carries a clear fundamental and a wide field of partials, and the sets here pair gongs whose fundamentals sit in these intervals.
The exact gongs you hear
Every Grotta Sonora gong is individually handmade in Italy with the line's folded-rim construction — stainless steel, titanium or nickel silver depending on the series — and every gong is individually recorded. The gong you hear in a set is the gong that ships. Press play to hear the set together, or open it to listen gong by gong.
Two or three gongs
Two-gong sets pair a gong with its perfect fifth or octave; three-gong sets add a major chord or a fifth with its octave. Grotta gongs ship without a mallet; each gong's page lists a recommended mallet for its size. Free US shipping, hassle-free returns.
