The Zildjian Traditional Orchestral Gong is the first choice of prestigious orchestras and percussion ensembles around the globe.
One-Piece Cast Bronze Construction
The Traditional Orchestral Gong features a single piece of cast bronze, hand-hammered into an intricately textured surface. This traditional process results in a full, resonant tone with a pleasing balance of fundamental pitch and overtones. The bronze material provides warmth, richness, and sustain while the hand-hammering technique introduces complex harmonics for added depth and dimension.
Versatile Tonal Palette
With a 34″ diameter, the mid-sized Traditional Orchestral Gong produces a range of tones to suit any musical need. Gently tapping the gong with a felt mallet elicits a shimmering wash of overtones, perfect for accenting lyrical passages. Striking forcefully near the center produces a clear, piercing pitch to cut through dense orchestration. The wide rim offers a lower, more ominous tone. This versatile tonal palette makes the Traditional Orchestral Gong an essential part of any percussionist’s toolkit.
Performance-Ready Design
The Traditional Orchestral Gong is engineered for convenience and durability on stage and in the studio. Pre-drilled mounting holes and an included rope allow for easy hanging and positioning. A sturdy rim and traditional wooden striker provide balanced feel and reliable performance. With proper care and maintenance, the Traditional Orchestral Gong will provide a lifetime of musical service.
