Tam Tam Gong
For centuries the Wuhan Province in China has been producing Chinese TamTams (black-gold-black) and Feng Gongs (gold only). Tam-Tams Gongs are built with a thinner center and a thick edge were the metal is folded back. This design focuses the vibration in the center while the outer edge holds the tone until all the overtones are faded and only the tremble of the deepest foundation tone is audible. Includes a mallet.
The instrument is commonly used in traditional operas, folk music and in ancient rituals. We carefully sort through thousands of gongs, directly in China, to chose the best gongs for European musical taste. Each gong is marked with an engraving on the back to guarantee the best quality.
Many people experience being calmed and focused by the Tam-Tams and inspired to meditate. The bronze used to make the Tam-Tams is mixed with a secret mixture of many metals. The mixture of thed dross with the metal causes the black color. Polishing away the dross from an area makes it gold. While the gongs are polished the metal is hardened through hammering and the center is slightly domed.
Includes a mallet.

Six years ago, I discovered the large TamTam-gong. It was love on first sound! A marvelous sound, with rich potential to increase the spectrum. One day at an information booth downtown in the pedestrian area, a drunken person kicked the gong with full force. Many people believe you have to hit the gong with full force. But suddenly the gong actually lost its sound through that kick. The full spectrum of the sound was gone and a metallic tension sound was there, almost as if the gong wanted to break into pieces. The gong rested outside in the garden within nature and in special care of the birds. After two years, I cleaned the gong with clear water from the traces of the bird visits and started to work again with the gong. I worked to hold and strengthen certain frequencies and carefully opened the spaces behind them. Now, after two years of daily work, the tension sound is rarely audible. The gong sounds stronger and more beautiful as before and impresses the audience at seminars and concerts with its appearance. Werner Worschech, Soundtherapist and Musician. Bottrop |  |

I watched Michael Vetter play or should I say act on the CHAU LUO . I was fascinated by this sound. The large spectrum of sound with delicate and powerful tones is impressive whenever it is played. With the “Flummi” a rubber ball attached on a stick, I create more single tones. Wolfgang Saus and I were playing two gongs at the same time and noticed that both of the gongs reacted and tuned into each other. And so do we.
