Sela Percussion Wind Gong 28" Mantra

Historical context and position within the range

The wind gong belongs to a long tradition of Asian metal percussion, particularly associated with China, where the art of gong-making and playing has developed over the centuries for ritual, ceremonial and musical uses. Its flat profile, without a raised rim, immediately sets it apart from other gong families and gives it the ability to project a broad, open and immersive sound.

In this Mantra version, visual identity takes centre stage. The dark, matte surface highlights the engravings of the mantra " Om Mani Padme Hum ", revealed by lighter bronze reflections. This model clearly embraces both a sonic and contemplative approach: it appeals not only to the ear, but also to the eye, with a strong stage presence and an aesthetic designed for wellness, meditation and sound healing environments.

Who this gong is for

This 70 cm Mantra gong is equally suited to percussionists, sound practitioners, yoga teachers, therapists, relaxation professionals and studio musicians looking for an enveloping texture. Its 70 cm diameter offers an excellent balance between depth, manoeuvrability and projection, making it accessible to a wide range of users.

It is particularly well suited to meditative atmospheres, contemporary music, immersive performances, sound rituals and relaxation sessions. A serious beginner will be able to approach it with ease, while an experienced user will know how to make the most of the subtlety of its overtones, its gradual swells and its nuanced response depending on the striking area.
