The Chau Gong is iconic in appearance. It is what many people see in their mind’s eye when they think of a Chinese Gong. The bull’s-eye design is created by the metal lathing between the rim of the gong and the center.

The Chau Gong will start deep, and is helped by the rim on the edge, but the lathing allows for a good crash as well. Chau Gongs with diameters of 26" and larger can create deep tones that sustain, and are perfect for announcements and celebrations, as well as sound healing, or just plain fun!
