Table Gong by Woodstock Chimes

Woodstock Table Gong™ by Woodstock Chimes

For thousands of years, Chinese instrument makers have been creating gongs that are considered the best in the world. Making a Chinese gong involves several steps, including hand-hammering, which results in a finely tuned sound unique to this type of instrument.

In Buddhism, a gong is sounded at each day’s beginning and end. The gong is struck 108 times in Chinese temples, representing sentient beings’ 108 worries. The teaching is that hearing the gong stops worries and cultivates wisdom.

Gongs have been an essential instrument in Asian cultures for over a thousand years. They were used for religious and secular music. They had various purposes, such as warding off evil spirits, warning of invading armies, healing the sick, and invoking the souls of the dead. Today, Woodstock Gongs bring the ancient wonders of the Far East home.
