Within the \u003cstrong\u003eMeinl Sonic Energy\u003c\/strong\u003e range, it is positioned as an instrument oriented towards \u003cstrong\u003esound healing\u003c\/strong\u003e, meditation, relaxation, rituals, as well as an expressive percussive color for stage and studio. The artisanal approach and selected bronze alloy aim for a stable musical response while preserving the unique character of each piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho This Gong Is For\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis Meinl Sonic Energy gong is suitable for both \u003cstrong\u003ebeginners\u003c\/strong\u003e and \u003cstrong\u003eexperienced practitioners\u003c\/strong\u003e : it is intuitive to play (a simple gesture produces a soundscape), but also offers a wide scope for exploring dynamics, textures, and harmonic control. It is particularly suited to \u003cstrong\u003eambient\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003ecinematic\u003c\/strong\u003e, \u003cstrong\u003eexperimental music\u003c\/strong\u003e environments, as well as meditation, yoga, sound baths, and therapeutic accompaniment. In a percussion setup, it becomes an excellent tool for transitions, dramatic build-ups, and deep accents.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures and Innovations\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003ealmost flat\u003c\/strong\u003e design of the Feng Gong is central to its behavior: it promotes a \u003cstrong\u003efull sound opening\u003c\/strong\u003e and wide dispersion, ideal for filling space without harshness. The instrument is made from a \u003cstrong\u003especial bronze alloy\u003c\/strong\u003e, chosen to support generous sustain and a rich overtone response. Each gong comes with a \u003cstrong\u003etraditional mallet\u003c\/strong\u003e sized to best exploit the playing surface, as well as a \u003cstrong\u003ecarrying bag\u003c\/strong\u003e to protect it during transport and storage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSound Characteristics\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThanks to its \u003cstrong\u003especial bronze alloy\u003c\/strong\u003e and flat shape, this Wind Gong offers a highly evolving sonic signature. Played softly, it emphasizes \u003cstrong\u003edeep fundamentals\u003c\/strong\u003e and a sense of depth, ideal for setting a mood, establishing a musical breath, or accompanying relaxation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen struck more firmly, the gong \"opens up\" progressively: the spectrum widens, harmonics overlap and create \u003cstrong\u003esound waves\u003c\/strong\u003e that seem to move through the air. The \u003cstrong\u003elong sustain\u003c\/strong\u003e allows working on transitions and phrase endings with a broad tail, while giving the musician the possibility to sculpt dynamics (build-ups, releases, accents). The result: an expressive instrument, effective both in nuance and power, with a truly enveloping effect.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr) minmax(0,1fr)}table[data-wb-spec] colgroup{display:none}table[data-wb-spec] tbody,table[data-wb-spec] tr{display:contents}table[data-wb-spec] td{display:block;overflow-wrap:anywhere;grid-row:var(--wb-l);background-color:var(--wb-lb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[data-r]{grid-row:var(--wb-r);background-color:var(--wb-rb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[colspan=\"2\"]{grid-column:1\/-1}table[data-wb-spec] td:empty{display:none}}\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:5;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstrument size\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eMedium\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccessories included\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eSticks, Cover\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:2;--wb-r:6;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCategory\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003egong\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinishing\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eMatt\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:3;--wb-r:7;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003egong\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDiameter\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e18 \u0026quot;\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:4;--wb-r:8;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003ebronze\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r colspan=\"2\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:2;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShape\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003ealmost flat\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eManufacture\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003ehandmade in China\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Sonic Energy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54356672774419,"sku":"409243","price":245.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/0872\/6803\/files\/3ce9a67db0815d1c5aa3953d4ef4fbbf0380cc81_MEINL_WGYY18.jpg?v=1792666732","url":"https:\/\/woodbrass.shop\/products\/sonic-energy-18-wind-gong-yin-yang-409243","provider":"Woodbrass.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
