Gong With Wooden Stand 50cm Greenwash

A greenwash gong on a carved Albasia wood stand brings sound, stillness and theatre into one object. The suspended metal disc has an aged, verdigris-like finish that catches the eye before it is ever struck, then turns the room towards listening. Use it as a ceremonial sound piece for meditation, yoga spaces or a quiet corner at home.

What you feel in the room

• The first strike blooms outward, with layered overtones rather than a single clear note.
• The greenwash finish gives the metal a weathered, antique look, softened by the carved wooden frame.
• It has real presence as furniture and instrument, drawing attention without needing decoration around it.
• The stand lets the gong hang freely, so the disc can vibrate and shimmer in the air.
• It suits slow sound rituals, yoga studios, meditation spaces and moments that need a clear beginning or close.

Metal gong, carved Albasia wood stand

The gong is made from metal and held in a carved Albasia wood stand. The contrast is part of its character: cool, aged-looking metal set within warm, sculptural wood.

It is handmade in Bali, with a decorative dragon form across the top of the stand. The finish is expressive rather than minimal, made for a space where the instrument is meant to be seen as well as heard.

Sound, striking and simple care

Strike the gong gently at first and let the sound unfold before playing again. A softer strike gives a warmer bloom, while a firmer touch brings a more immediate swell of sound.

Keep it on a stable, level surface with room around the stand. Dust the wood and metal with a soft dry cloth, and avoid prolonged damp so the materials stay in good condition.

From Balinese and Javanese ceremony to modern sound spaces

Gongs have long been used across Bali and Java in temple and ceremonial settings, where sound marks attention, transition and presence. Today, the same form is also found in yoga studios, meditation rooms and sound-led practices around the world. A gong differs from a bell or singing bowl because its broad metal surface vibrates in many modes at once, creating a wash of overtones rather than one fixed pitch. Here, that cultural history meets a decorative carved stand, making the piece both musical and architectural.

Size and included pieces

The gong measures 50 cm in diameter and 15 cm deep. The stand measures 80 cm high and 85 cm long, with a 50 cm dragon detail across the top. The mallet measures 12 cm. The gong weight is 7 kg.

Included: metal gong, carved Albasia wood stand and mallet.

A memorable gift for a sound-led space

This is a thoughtful gift for someone who practises yoga, leads meditation, works with sound, or wants a statement piece with purpose. It feels ceremonial without being ornamental only.

Common questions

Does this gong have a tuned musical note?
No tuning note is specified. Gongs are usually chosen for their layered resonance and atmosphere rather than a single fixed pitch.

Is the greenwash finish natural ageing?
The greenwash is a decorative aged effect. It gives the metal a verdigris-style look, rather than indicating centuries of natural ageing.

Can it be used in a yoga or meditation room?
Yes. This style of gong is suited to sound rituals, yoga studios and quiet interior spaces where both the resonance and the visual presence matter.
