C2-45 Grotta Sonora 32" King Gong

The Grotta Sonora 32" King Gong is a flat gong that combines the classic, shimmering sound of a traditional Chinese wind gong with the harmonic tuning Grotta Sonora is known for.

Featuring a flat profile with a tapered edge, this gong produces a dynamic, "windy" wash of sound. The Grotta Sonora harmonic tuning in the center adds a unique and balanced dimension to its voice.

Every single one of these gongs is meticulously handmade, ensuring that each piece is truly one-of-a-kind. You can expect a unique design, a distinct sound, and a personality all its own, making it a special addition to any collection.
