Gong With Wood Stand, 35cm Greenwash

A greenwash metal gong on an Albasia wood stand brings sound, stillness and sculptural presence into one object. The suspended disc draws the eye first, then the ritual begins: one strike, a shimmer of overtones, and the room feels newly attentive.

What you'll notice when it sounds

• The greenwash finish gives the gong an aged, verdigris-like look, more like a discovered object than a polished ornament.
• The metal disc hangs openly in its frame, so it can vibrate freely when struck.
• Its sound is layered rather than note-like, with shifting overtones that bloom and fade into quiet.
• The carved wooden stand gives it visual weight, making it feel at home in a meditation corner, yoga room or calm living space.
• It works as both instrument and focal point, inviting a small pause before or after practice.

Greenwash metal and carved Albasia wood

The gong is metal, held in a carved Albasia wood stand with a greenwashed finish. Albasia is a lightweight wood often used for decorative carving, which suits the open frame and shaped supports.

Its surface has a weathered green tone, chosen for atmosphere rather than shine. It gives the piece a softened, time-worn character without needing extra ornament.

How to sound it with care

Strike the gong gently and let the tone open before playing again. A softer beater gives a warmer bloom, while a harder strike creates a sharper attack, so the feel of the sound depends on what you use and how you play.

Place it on a stable, level surface with enough space around the disc to move freely. Dust the stand with a dry cloth and keep the metal dry, as moisture can mark both wood and metal over time.

From ceremony to studio practice

Gongs have a broad ceremonial and musical life across Asia, from Javanese gamelan traditions to temple settings and contemporary sound practice. This piece is made in Bali, and gongs of this kind are traditionally associated with temple ceremonies in Bali and Java. In modern yoga and meditation spaces, the gong is often used to mark a beginning, close a session, or create a spacious moment of listening. The meaning sits in the ritual of attention: a clear sound, a held pause, and silence returning with more presence.

Size & details

The gong measures 35 cm across and the full piece weighs 4220 g. It comes with a wooden carved stand and is made from metal and Albasia wood in Indonesia.

A gift with quiet ceremony

This is a thoughtful gift for someone who practises yoga, meditation or sound work, or for anyone building a more intentional home space. It feels substantial, artistic and useful, with enough presence to become part of a daily ritual.

Common questions

Is this gong tuned to a specific note?
No tuning note is given for this piece. Gongs usually produce a complex field of overtones rather than a single clean pitch.

Can it be used as décor as well as an instrument?
Yes. The carved stand and greenwash finish make it visually strong enough for display, while the suspended metal disc remains playable.

Does the finish mean the gong is antique?
No. Greenwash is a visual finish with an aged, verdigris-like appearance, not a statement of age.
