Grotta Sonora’s Deep Gong Series is designed with a deeper, thicker rim, giving it a unique sound profile compared to other gongs. The prominent rim helps to focus and enhance the sound, producing a deep, resonant tone with a long sustain and a strong presence.

This gong model has a characteristic harmonic sound, a defined fundamental note and high/medium range of overtones in harmony, resulting in a proper chord, just striking the center of the gong.

A Note About Gong Sizes
Each of our gongs is a unique, handmade item. Because of this, the actual size may vary slightly. We typically find that most gongs will be approximately 1/4" to 1/2" smaller than their stated size.

Fundamental Notes
The listed note and octave represent the gong's primary center tone. While we do our best to capture an accurate representation of this note, the actual tone can vary based on volume and overtones. Please refer to the sound file for the best example of the gong's sound.
