Bronze Gong from Meinl

The Meinl WGYY20 Wind Gong Yin & Yang 20" is a gong made of bronze, which is decorated with the Taijitu, the Yin & Yang symbol. It is handmade in the traditional way in China. This gives the gong its characteristic flat shape through which vibrations can spread very strongly and the gong resonates for a long time. Such gongs are also known as Feng Gong or Sun Gong. The gong produces a deep sound and if you play it a bit stronger it unfolds wave-like overtones. A matching mallet and a cover are also included.

Yin & Yang

The Meinl Sonic Energy Wind Gong Yin & Yang series is marked with the Yin-Yang symbol, the so-called Taijitu. Yin and Yang are probably the best known terms from Chinese philosophy, with the white half representing Yang and the black half representing Yin. Yang stands for the sun, brightness, warmth, active giving and masculinity, whereas yin describes the exact opposite direction, i.e. darkness, calmness, passive giving, femininity, the soft. Although both forces are opposed to each other, they are at the same time related to each other and cannot exist without each other, like heaven and earth oder day and night. Thus, it is only through the combination of the two opposites that the whole results - a harmony and inner balance.
