Yes, it comes with a mallet! Yes, this is a 89 year old Chinese Man who walks around our neighborhood once a day, a very nice person who lives with his daughter, and happened to be passing by when were taking photos. He wishes you the best. The 28 inch Wind Gong is a LOT of FUN. It is loud enough to scare the parmigiana off the chicken, to roll the tumbleweed down the desert, to wake up the neighbors at 4 AM. But... It is soft enough to caress the shoulders of your loved one sipping wine, to ease your pet wildebeest to sleep in the afternoon, to tune you to your spirit guides. It is gong that can heal all creatures great and small, it is the gong that can raise the roof, and make your Church Band rock God's socks off. NOTE: Few People Realize that the White Light, a.k.a. the Tunnel you travel through when you pass away, is God's Tube Sock.

The Regal Populist is our term for that person who has lived the fancy conundrum of our recent centuries. The soul who has - due to work, luck, or family - found themselves wealthy or with power but somewhere along the line had felt the drive or desire to help those less fortunate, or just even hang out with those who are not rich, powerful, or in our modern world - celebritastic! From noblesse oblige to just plain slumming it, we honor the Regal Populists for either having a societal sense of obligation, or liking to party! Regal Populists run the gamut from folks like Bobby Kennedy or Warren Buffett all the way to the trust fund kids who like to shoot dope up in Spanish Harlem. Either way, they are people of the people. And we salute you for getting away from the prep schools and the country clubs!!!
