Big gongs, small gongs. Bronze gongs, nickel gongs. Chinese gongs, European gongs, American gongs. One-of-a-kind, hand-hammered gongs, and big batch gongs. Big fat gongs, skinny little gongs. Gongs for business, gongs for pleasure. Gongs in rock bands, gongs at the yoga studio. Gong gumbo, gong stew. Low-priced gongs, expensive gongs.
Unlimited. The world of gongs is Unlimited. Every few months we discover a new gong maker putting their unique spin on gong-making. From an ancient process that's been honed and distilled and expanded upon over and over again we get an endless multiverse of gongs and a polyphonic buffet of options for sound therapists, ambient musicians, gong enthusiasts, meditators, and home decorators alike.

Center yourself, kind shopper. Breath, relax, sit on a large pillow. This does not have to be a stressful situation. We have decades of experience working with gongs and gong players. We've travelled the multiverse of gongs and we're here to help you.
