Woodstock Wind Chimes for Outside, Garden Decor, Hanging Gong, 17'' Wind Gongs for Outdoor, Patio, Home or Garden Decor Gift (WCBHG)

This gong is absolutely beautiful! From the aesthetically pleasing shape/look to the pure sound. I had read the prior reviews about the nice sound but words really just don't do it justice. It's a wonderful, deep, mellow sound that won't grate like some tinkly wind chimes do. It's so soothing. It's a perfect piece to add to my Zen garden and I'm immensely pleased with this purchase. Also, the gong was carefully packaged and shipped lightning fast to Canada. All-in-all, you just can't beat this fantastic gong!

I am in LOVE! I have a thing for chimes and gongs--and I'm picky about the ones I buy. This is one of my all-time favorites. It is very well-made, the wood and metal are gorgeous, and the sound of the gong is incredibly soothing. I actually took down all of my other chimes just so I can hear this one more--the sound is very (very) subtle--if you're not paying attention, you might just miss it. When you have mature trees and the wind is blowing, between the trees sounding like an ocean and this gong making its low-toned hum--just, wow. I always love looking for gifts for other people, and I think I'm moving this to my top five list...

This is the first gong we have ever owned. Visually - gorgeous! I love the hammered texture, it looks so beautiful hanging on its own. Sound - Since I wasn't able to preview the sound myself, I was a little nervous purchasing this for my husband's Christmas gift, but it sounds amazing! Rich, pleasant and uplifting. It was a fun way to ring in the new year!

The gong is lovely, hand-hammered, and works both inside & outside - seems smaller than I measured - the "plate" is 9 3/4" diameter. Semi-matte brass in color - not overtly shiny. You'll find yourself tapping it as you leave for the day and when you return. Only concern I see is the wacky price changes - I bought at $64, now it's listed at $43, and I've see it elsewhere for over $130. Do your research and try to catch the best price available. Amazon does seem to have the best price of anywhere.

The gong has a very nice tone to it when rung. With it's 10 inch size, the tone is not very deep, but it's not very high either. Like any gong, when rung it sounds a primary tome with upper and lower harmonics. I think a smaller gong would sound too much like a toy, so we are happy with the size and sound. It gets attention when rung! The curved hanger is also quite lovely and adds to the aesthetics. This hanger has a slot cut into it that holds the ringer right next to the gong- very convenient. I have only one small gripe- the hanger does not include a GOOD way to hang from a wall or ceiling. As shown in the diagram, you can hang it from a single point but the downside is that when hung in this manner the gong will twist around when rung. Better to secure it at two points so it stays hung where desired without twisting. I went to the hardware store and got two small eye bolts to solve the problem, but those should have been included in the package.

This gong is great. I would say it sounds MUCH louder than in the sample video...I'm on one side of a 10,000 sq ft office and it definitely annoys people on the other side. Very nice, rich sound as well. You can use this gong to alert people at your office that it's time for yoga or mediation, or to signal the beginning of a kung fu fight to the death, or you can use this gong when the fight is over and guards must be summoned to drag the loser's corpse away. Great all-around gong!

I had this gong in my cart a long time before finally ordering it. Not a fan. The string goes through holes on the face of the cymbal. And how the string hangs, it looks like a witches hat. The sound is decent enough but the mallet is black so when you hit the cymbal at a bad angle it marks the surface black. Easily washable yet still annoying. It's a fine piece but overpriced for what it is.

I Love it! Always wanted one of these but they were either too big or too pricey. This one is perfect size and perfect price and carries that nice long sound that just washes over you and makes your mind follow as it expands and fades into the room. Perfect for meditating or just wanting to clear your head. I find myself hitting that gong all the time! You can't help but feel, as you listen to it, that everything is alright in the world even if it's just for ten seconds.

Schöner Gong. Sieht sehr edel aus. Der Ton ist schön

Il suono è forte E si espande bene anche all’aperto
