MEINL Sonic Energy Wind Gong - Yin & Yang - 12" + Beater & Cover

The Meinl Sonic Energy Wind Gongs are traditionally handcrafted in China using a special bronze alloy. These gongs are also known under the name Feng or Sun Gong and have an almost flat shape. This flat shape is known for allowing the gong’s voice to fully open with a wide tonal spectrum and a long sustain. Lower tones are more dominant when played softly, but with more powerful playing the gong opens up nicely and produces wave-like overtones. Each gong ships with a beater designed to correspond with the gong size and a cover.

Yin & Yang represent harmony and balance. They describe two opposites, which, however, do not fight, but complement each other.
"The primal principle moves and generates Yang. When the movement reaches its end, it becomes still, and this stillness generates yin." - Alfred Forke

Die Meinl Sonic Energy Wind Gongs werden in China traditionell unter Verwendung einer speziellen Bronzelegierung handgefertigt. Die Gongs sind auch unter dem Namen Feng oder Sun Gong bekannt. Die Form ist nahezu flach, wodurch sich die Schwingung des Gongs extrem stark ausbreitet und dabei einen langen Nachklang beibehält. Die Klangcharakteristik ist vorwiegend tief und wenn man den Gong kräftiger spielt, entfaltet er sich schön mit wellenartigen Obertönen. Jeder Gong wird mit einem auf die Gonggröße abgestimmten Schlägel sowie einer Hülle geliefert.
 
Yin & Yang stellen Harmonie und Balance dar. Sie bezeichnen Gegensätze, die sich jedoch nicht bekämpfen, sondern ergänzen.
"Das Urprinzip bewegt sich und erzeugt Yang. Wenn die Bewegung ihr Ende erreicht, so wird sie still, und diese Stille erzeugt Yin." - Alfred Forke
