14" Tiger Gong

The Chinese Opera Gongs, including Opera, Tiger, Hand and Fong Gongs, are traditional Chinese gongs that have a unique sound the world associates with Chinese Opera and other Chinese theater.

The front of the gong is distinctly forward from the outer rim of the gong. It is almost like two gongs in one, a front gong and a bigger back gong: two distinct tones tied together. This connection creates an ascending or descending sound. Often called “pitch-bending”, this up or down bend accelerates as the gong goes from one note to another, making the Opera Gongs a special experience.
