Yes, this item includes Gong, Stand, and Mallet. You can get it on the gong stand above, that is called the Stand Up Stand, or on the gong stand below, which is called our Fruity Buddha Stand.  The Sound Infinitum Gong has as its basis, the classic Chinese Wind Gong, at 22 inches, however, because of the lathing style, it holds a deeper tone, and does not crash as easily. It still does crash, but not as quickly. It does not suffer from premature ecrashulation. It is a deeper voiced lover of a gong, if a regular wind gong is like Gilbert Gottfried in a black suit, then the Sound Infinitum Gong is like Robert Goulet in a blue velour workout combination... Of course we dubbed the gong SOUND INFINITUM as a spin off the Latin Ad Infinitum which means literally "to infinity" but is generally translated to mean "continues forever" or "goes on without limit." You might say, well sound waves do not go on forever, they eventually get infinitesimal and eventually end. And we would answer, yeah if you get all physics about it. We prefer to think that as the sound waves hit human ear, that it registers into the human mind and soul, and ineluctably connects to the Divine, which is infinite, and sometimes for the awestruck, ineffable! And once you realize that, you cheer! SOUND INFINITUM! |
