16 inch Chau Tam Tam Gong
$279.99
Step into a fuller sound experience with the deep, evolving resonance of a traditional Chau Tam Tam Gong.
The 16" Chau Tam Tam Gong is a handcrafted gong made from Ancient Traditional Metal Alloy, offering a richer and more expansive resonance while remaining versatile enough for personal practice and smaller sound environments.
Its broad, carefully worked surface responds beautifully to subtle changes in playing technique, allowing the sound to move from a focused initial tone into a more spacious, layered resonance. The 16-inch format makes it an excellent choice for dedicated meditation spaces, yoga studios, treatment rooms, home sound studios, and intimate sound healing sessions.
The gong is sold on its own, giving you the freedom to create a hanging arrangement that complements your space. You can use 100% unbleached cotton thread for a natural, understated look, or choose rope, cotton cord, twine, leather cord, or another sturdy suspension material that suits your setup.

The 16-inch Chau Tam Tam begins to offer a noticeably more spacious sound experience, with greater presence and resonance than the smaller instruments in the collection.
Its larger surface gives the player more room to explore tonal variation. Gentle strikes can produce a soft, rounded resonance, while broader strokes can encourage the sound to build and expand through the surrounding space.
This size is particularly well suited to practitioners who want to explore gong meditation and sound healing techniques with an instrument that has enough presence to carry a session while still fitting comfortably into a home or studio environment.
Experiment with different areas of the gong and gradually vary the strength of each strike. Part of the beauty of a Chau Tam Tam is discovering how the instrument responds rather than treating every strike the same way.

How to Use
Securely suspend the gong from an appropriate structure using a sturdy hanging material of your choice. 100% unbleached cotton thread offers a natural aesthetic, while rope, cotton cord, twine, leather cord, or other suitable suspension materials can also be used.
Once securely hung, use an appropriate gong mallet to gently activate the surface. Begin toward the outer area and allow the initial resonance to develop before introducing another strike.
As you become familiar with the instrument, explore different striking locations and pressures. Softer playing can create a quieter, meditative sound, while gradual increases in intensity can build a broader and more immersive resonance.
The 16-inch gong can be incorporated into meditation, yoga, breathwork, sound healing, energy work, and practitioner-led sessions. It can also be paired with singing bowls, tuning forks, chimes, and other instruments to create a layered sound journey.
The gong may be suspended from a wall, ceiling point, wooden beam, gong frame, or another secure structure appropriate for its weight. Always make sure your chosen suspension point and hanging material are secure before use.
