Types of Gong

  • Chau / Tam Tam Gongs — the most widely used gong type in sound therapy and orchestral percussion. A flat, unlathed bronze disc with a turned edge that produces a rich, complex, sustaining tone. Available from 20" to 50" from Meinl Sonic Energy, Dream, and Stagg. Best for: sound baths, sound therapy, and orchestral use
  • Wind Gongs — a thinner, fully lathed gong that produces a bright, cutting tone with a faster attack and shorter sustain than a Chau gong. Available from 12" to 48" from Meinl Sonic Energy, including Flower of Life and Yin & Yang designs. Best for: live performance, accent sounds, and practitioners who want a brighter, more immediate gong tone
  • Symphonic Gongs — Paiste's professional orchestral gong range, available from 20" to 38". Produced to the exacting standards required for orchestral and concert use. Best for: orchestral percussion and professional sound therapy
  • Chakra Gongs — Meinl Sonic Energy gongs tuned to the seven chakra frequencies, available from 24" to 36". Best for: sound healers and practitioners working with chakra-based sound therapy

Gongs UK - Chau, Wind, Symphonic & Chakra Gongs | Into Music Store

Into Music Store stocks one of the largest ranges of gongs available to buy online in the UK — from compact 12" wind gongs through to professional 50" Chau Tam Tams and the extraordinary 50" Meinl Sonic Energy Symphonic Tam Tam. Whether you're looking for a gong for sound therapy, meditation, a sound bath, orchestral performance, or live drumming, our range covers every application and every budget.

The most important distinction when choosing a gong is between Chau/Tam Tam gongs and Wind gongs. A Chau gong is a flat, unlathed disc with a turned edge — it produces a rich, complex, sustaining tone that builds slowly and is ideal for sound baths and therapeutic use. A Wind gong is thinner and fully lathed, producing a brighter, more immediate tone with a faster attack and shorter sustain — better suited to live performance and accent sounds. Symphonic gongs (Paiste) are produced to orchestral standards with a full, balanced tone across the entire surface.

For sound therapy practitioners, the Meinl Sonic Energy Chakra Gong range offers gongs tuned to the seven chakra frequencies, while the Soundscape Gong range features distinctive symbolic artwork including the Flower of Life, Om Lotus, and Metatron's Cube. The Dream Chau Black Dot gong range offers excellent quality at a more accessible price point, available from 12" to 40".

Choosing the right stand and mallet is just as important as choosing the gong itself. Gong stands are available from table-top options for smaller instruments through to heavy-duty floor stands for gongs up to 60". The mallet you use has a significant effect on tone — a soft fleece mallet produces a warm, sustained build ideal for sound therapy, while a harder yarn or felt mallet produces a more defined, brighter attack. We stock mallets from Meinl Sonic Energy, Vic Firth, Chalklin, and IRIN across a wide range of sizes and head types. Padded gong bags and gong polish are also available for practitioners who need to transport and maintain their instruments.

Prices start from around £65 for entry-level wind gongs and mallets through to over £7,900 for the 50" Symphonic Tam Tam.
