Product Information
The Meinl Sonic Energy 20" Kun Wind Gong represents traditional Chinese gong-making at its most expressive. Handcrafted from a special bronze alloy, this 50 cm diameter gong features an almost flat profile that allows its voice to open fully, producing a wide tonal spectrum and exceptional sustain. The design emphasises low-pitched frequencies when struck softly, with wave-like overtones emerging under more powerful attacks. A size-specific beater and protective cover ship with every gong.
The Kun gong's distinctive nearly flat shape differentiates it from traditionally curved wind gongs, enabling fuller resonance and longer decay times. Bronze alloy construction delivers rich harmonic content across the frequency spectrum. Lower tones dominate at softer dynamics, while harder strikes reveal complex overtone patterns that ripple outward in waves. The included beater has been weighted and shaped specifically for the 20" diameter, optimising tone production and response. Kun symbolises the earth and feminine nature in the Chinese trigram system, representing grounding and maternal energy.
