Chinese Gongs: A Blend of Sourced Tradition and In-House Innovation
Our Chinese Gongs are traditional Wuhan-style instruments, sourced from experienced makers to offer that unmistakable explosive attack and dark, complex wash. These are ideal for bold musical statements, favored in symphonic settings, percussion ensembles, and theatrical productions. These are available in 30”, 34”, and 40” sizes.
Symphonic Gongs: Precision-Crafted for Performance and Education
Our Symphonic Gongs are crafted in Canada by SABIAN artisans and are especially well-suited for the education market. Designed to deliver a warm, rounded fundamental with controlled overtones, they offer students and educators a versatile and expressive tool with a clear, musical voice. Available in 24”, 26”, and 28” sizes.
Zodiac Gongs: Distinctive Tone and Expansive Presence
The Zodiac Gong is SABIAN’s most distinctive gong. Made with a special nickel-silver alloy, it blossoms quickly into a full sound without ever becoming overpowering. With a focused core and shimmering overtone layer, the Zodiac is equally at home in concert halls, therapy spaces, and ambient musical settings. Available in 24” and 28” sizes.
