36" Wind Gong
Description
The Meinl Sonic Energy 36" Wind Gong - also known as a Feng or Sun Gong - is a large-format, handcrafted percussion instrument designed for those who demand deep, immersive sound experiences. Meticulously hand-hammered from a special bronze alloy in China, its flat construction enables fully open sound production across a broad tonal spectrum with fluid, wave-like overtones. Played gently, it yields low, grounding tones perfect for deep meditation and breathwork; struck with greater force, it blooms into a rich, all-encompassing resonance that fills any space.
At 36 inches in diameter, this is a professional-grade instrument trusted by sound healers, musicians, and ceremony facilitators alike. Whether anchoring a sound bath, supporting energy work, or serving as the centerpiece of a spiritual ceremony, the Meinl Wind Gong delivers an unmatched depth of tone and sustain that smaller gongs simply cannot replicate.

FAQ
What is the difference between a Wind Gong and other types of gongs?
A Wind Gong - also called a Feng Gong or Sun Gong - has a flat, unlathed surface with no turned edge, which allows the entire face of the gong to vibrate freely. This produces a broad, open tonal spectrum with fluid, wave-like overtones that are distinct from the more focused, bell-like tones of a Chau or Symphonic gong. Wind Gongs are especially popular in sound healing and meditation for their expansive, all-encompassing resonance.
Do I need a gong stand to use this gong?
Yes - a 36" gong of this size and weight requires a compatible gong stand for safe and proper playing. A stand suspends the gong freely, which is essential for allowing it to resonate fully and produce its characteristic wave-like overtones. Meinl and other manufacturers offer stands sized for large gongs. Please check that any stand you purchase is rated for a gong of this diameter.
Is this gong suitable for beginners?
The 36" Wind Gong is a professional-grade instrument, but it is absolutely accessible to dedicated beginners with an interest in sound healing or meditation. Its size does mean it produces intense volume and resonance, so players should take time to learn proper striking technique - starting with gentle taps and gradually building force - to explore its full range without overwhelming listeners. A smaller Wind Gong may be a better starting point if you are brand new to gong playing.
How should I care for and store my Wind Gong?
Store your gong in the included protective cover when not in use to prevent dust, scratches, and accidental dings. Avoid exposure to extreme humidity or temperature changes, which can affect the metal over time. Clean the surface occasionally with a soft, dry cloth. Never use abrasive cleaners or chemicals on the bronze surface, as these can damage the finish and affect the gong's tone.
How will this gong be shipped?
