The Grotta Sonora 32" Nickel Silver Gong is made from a distinctive soft alloy, and it produces a complex, immersive sound. A powerful fundamental note anchors a wide spectrum of harmonized overtones, unfolding in rich, evolving waves that fill any space with a deeply layered sonic presence.

The generous diameter unlocks an impressive dynamic range, from delicate, shimmering whispers to bold, resonant swells, making it equally at home in intimate sound baths and larger healing environments. This versatile gong is a wonderful center piece for those new to sound healing, offering an immediate, full-range introduction to what a large gong can do. For seasoned practitioners, it brings a commanding depth and complexity that elevates any collection or ceremonial setting.

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. Due to its more pronounced edge angle, the 32" Nickel Silver may measure closer to 31" from edge to edge.

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.
