The first choice of the world's leading symphony orchestras, drum corps, and rock stars alike.

Brought to you by Zildjian, the world's leading cymbal and percussion brand, the Traditional Orchestral Gong 34" combines old-world craftsmanship with premium tone. Handcrafted in China using time-honored techniques passed down through generations of master gongsmiths, this gong produces a complex blend of shimmering overtones and penetrating attack. The Zildjian Traditional Orchestral Gong is the first choice of prestigious orchestras and percussion ensembles around the globe.

One-Piece Cast Bronze Construction
The Traditional Orchestral Gong features a single piece of cast bronze, hand-hammered into an intricately textured surface. This traditional process results in a full, resonant tone with a pleasing balance of fundamental pitch and overtones. The bronze material provides warmth, richness, and sustain while the hand-hammering technique introduces complex harmonics for added depth and dimension.

Versatile Tonal Palette
With a 34" diameter, the mid-sized Traditional Orchestral Gong produces a range of tones to suit any musical need. Gently tapping the gong with a felt mallet elicits a shimmering wash of overtones, perfect for accenting lyrical passages. Striking forcefully near the center produces a clear, piercing pitch to cut through dense orchestration. The wide rim offers a lower, more ominous tone. This versatile tonal palette makes the Traditional Orchestral Gong an essential part of any percussionist's toolkit.

Performance-Ready Design
The Traditional Orchestral Gong is engineered for convenience and durability on stage and in the studio. Pre-drilled mounting holes and an included rope allow for easy hanging and positioning. A sturdy rim and traditional wooden striker provide balanced feel and reliable performance. With proper care and maintenance, the Traditional Orchestral Gong will provide a lifetime of musical service.
