Sela SEGO20WIL Wind Gong Lotus 20"

Handcrafted Flat Gong with Spiritual Lotus Motif!

The Sela Wind Gongs are genuine masterpieces, handcrafted in China from a special bronze alloy. The larger the model, the deeper and more full-bodied the sound when struck. Each model comes with a beech mallet featuring a plastic head covered in velvet, and a zippered carry bag.

The Sela Wind Gong Lotus has an almost flat shape, with the outer rim not bent backward. Its surface is treated and lathed differently at the outer edge, center, and in between, creating a unique, characteristic look with a partly shimmering, matte-gold finish. What really stands out is the elegant lotus motif worked into the outer area. The lotus flower, also called the "flower of life," carries many spiritual meanings – including purity of heart, creative power, wisdom, and enlightenment.

Gongs are an integral part of many cultures worldwide and produce soothing, long-lasting, esoteric tones. Depending on how, where, and with what the Sela Wind Gong is struck, different frequency ranges come to the fore. It can be played far more versatile than it might initially seem.

Gongs are used for their relaxing effects in meditation and sound therapy, as their vibrations penetrate the entire body. Percussionists also like to use a gong as a special effect in musical and orchestral contexts.
