Its beauty and its traditional appearance\nmake it a centerpiece in any space, indoors or outdoors. This style of gong\ndates from the Han Dynasty where it was used for spiritual drumming, large\nmeetings, and to announce the procession of important people. In more modern\ntimes, the chao gong has found a place in different genres of music, most\nnotably symphony orchestras. The Chao Gong, otherwise known as a tam-tam, is\none of the most familiar looking Chinese gongs. The chao gong differs in shape\nfrom the wind gong in that it has a rim around the outside edge. It also has a\nvery distinctive \"target\" appearance. It is made of a bronze alloy which is\nroughly 80 percent copper and 20 percent tin, and the crafting process is a\nmixture of hand hammering and working the bronze on a lathe while carefully\nheating and cooling the metal. On the chao gong, the center spot and outside\nrim retain the black copper oxide that forms when the gong is made. On the\nrest of the gong this coating is removed and the surface is polished. Chao\ngongs are available in a range of sizes, with each size having its own\ndistinct full sound. Smaller sizes have a rich but higher sound while the\nlarger sizes are deeper and ring with more power and sustain.\u003c\/p\u003e \n\n\n \u003cul class=\"a\"\u003e\n \u003cli\u003eGong beater made from solid mulberry and dense foam wrapped by nylon.
