MEINL Sonic Energy Wind Gong - KUN 28" / 70 cm

Meinl Sonic Energy Wind Gongs – Handcrafted Masterpieces

Meinl Sonic Energy Wind Gongs are traditionally handcrafted in China using a special bronze alloy. This unique alloy provides the gongs with outstanding acoustic qualities, allowing for rich and sustained sounds. Since each gong is handcrafted, every piece has its own distinct sound quality, offering a unique acoustic experience.

Feng or Sun Gong – Nearly Flat Shape and Wide Sound Spectrum

The Meinl Sonic Energy Wind Gongs are also known as Feng or Sun Gongs. Their nearly flat shape allows the sound to fully open up. This flat shape gives the gong a wide sound spectrum with long sustain, producing a rich and full tone. The vibration of the gong spreads widely, and its deep tone is remarkably rich.

Deep Tones and Wave-Like Overtones

The Meinl Sonic Energy Wind Gong primarily produces deep tones, which dominate when played softly. With softer strikes, the deep tones are very dominant, but when struck more forcefully, the gong opens up beautifully and produces wave-like overtones. The overtones dynamically change and contribute to the rich texture of the sound.

The Meaning and Symbolism of Kun

Kun, one of the eight Chinese trigrams, represents the Earth and all things with feminine qualities. The Kun symbol embodies motherhood, feminine energy, and fertility. It represents balance and harmony, connecting to the natural order. The Meinl Sonic Energy Wind Gong, inspired by this symbol, creates a sound that embodies inner harmony and balance.

Accessories and Sizes

The Meinl Sonic Energy Wind Gong comes with a mallet and cover, specifically designed to match the gong’s size, ensuring optimal sound quality. The gongs are available in various sizes, ranging from 12" (30 cm) to 48" (120 cm) in diameter. The different sizes allow you to find the perfect sound for every need and application.
