There is a minority view that the word "bronze" should be reserved for two-phase alloys, which may be their usage here. Unlike cymbals, some gongs are made from several different metals fused together. Many different metals have been used. Parts of some traditional gongs, notably the bosses of some "nipple" gongs, are made from iron based alloys.
A chau gong is made of copper-based alloy, bronze, or brass. It is almost flat except for the rim, which is turned up to make a shallow cylinder. On a 25-centimetre (10 in) gong, for example, the rim extends about 1 cm (1 ⁄ 2 in) perpendicular to the surface. The main surface is slightly concave when viewed from the direction to which the rim ...
A gong chime is a generic term for a set of small, high-pitched bossed pot gongs. The gongs are ordinarily placed in order of pitch, with the boss upward on cords held in a low wooden frame. The frames can be rectangular or circular (the latter are sometimes called "gong circles"), and may have one or two rows of gongs.
Paiste has been using this technique and the same type of machines since at least the mid 50’s or earlier. The next step is fine tuning: a different cymbal-smith now hammers the cymbal by hand to fine tune the shape and checks the bow with a ruler and on a steel flat table to make sure the edges are straight, he also checks the cymbal against ...
The Gongman film logo sequence depicts a man striking a huge gong with a deep resonant sound. The gongs used in the sequence were props made of plaster or papier-mâché. The sound came from James Blades striking a real gong—specifically a Chinese instrument called a tam tam that was much smaller than the prop. During the sequence, the text ...
Archaeologists in Spain have unearthed a 2,100-year-old bronze hand that both astounded and puzzled experts. At the foot of a castle on Mount Irulegi , the invading ancient Roman army attacked and ...
Sets of five bronze gong-chimes and a gong making up the totobuang ensembles of Buru island in Central Maluku have also come to disuse. [23] Kolintang sets of bossed kettle gongs were once played in Gorontalo , North Sulawesi long ago but that has all but disappeared, replaced by what locals are presently familiar with—a slab-key instrument ...
