Gong With Wooden Stand 50cm – Black

A black metal gong on a carved Albasia wood stand brings sound, presence and sculptural weight into a room. Struck with care, the suspended disc opens into layered overtones, then leaves a charged quiet behind it. It is made for yoga studios, meditation spaces and mindful homes where an instrument is also a visual centrepiece.

The sound that fills the space

• The metal disc gives a broad, shimmering voice rather than a single neat note.
• A gentle strike brings a softer bloom, while a firmer touch creates more drama and depth.
• The black finish gives the gong a calm, grounded look against the warm carved wood.
• Its suspended form lets the sound move freely, with the stand framing it like a piece of ritual furniture.
• Use it to open a yoga class, mark the start of meditation, or create a clear pause in the day.

Black metal and carved Albasia wood

The gong is made from metal and hangs within a sturdy Albasia wood stand. The stand is carved, with a dragon form across the top, giving the piece a strong ceremonial presence even when it is silent. It is handmade in Bali, so small variations in finish and carving are part of its character.

How to play and care for it

Strike the gong with the mallet and allow the sound to unfold before playing again. Softer, spaced strikes suit quieter settings, while stronger strikes build a fuller wave of sound.

Place it on a stable, level surface with enough space around the disc to move freely. Keep the wood dry, dust it with a soft cloth, and wipe the metal gently after handling.

Where the gong sits in practice

Gongs have a long place in ceremonial and musical life across parts of Asia, including temple use in Bali and Java. In Javanese gamelan, bronze gongs traditionally help mark structure and transition in the music, while in modern yoga and sound practices they are often used to frame a session with resonance and silence. This piece belongs to that contemporary bridge: decorative, musical and ritual in feeling, without needing to be hidden away between uses.

Common questions

Is this gong tuned to a specific musical note?
No tuning note is specified. Gongs usually produce layered, shifting overtones rather than one clean, fixed pitch.

What changes the sound when I play it?
The force of the strike, where the mallet meets the disc, and how long you leave between strikes all affect the tone and resonance.

Is it only for studios?
No. It works well in a yoga or meditation studio, but it can also sit in a home practice space as both an instrument and a decorative focal point.
