Woodstock Wind Chimes for Outside, Garden Decor, Hanging Gong, 17'' Wind Gongs for Outdoor, Patio, Home or Garden Decor Gift (WCBHG)

I love this! It's beautiful, well made and sounds terrific! I have wanted this for a long time but couldn't justify it but we've just bou ght a new house that doesn't have a doorbell. Instead of installing one, this will be hung on our front porch for all to see and beckon to us.

The gong is lovely, hand-hammered, and works both inside & outside - seems smaller than I measured - the "plate" is 9 3/4" diameter. Semi-matte brass in color - not overtly shiny. You'll find yourself tapping it as you leave for the day and when you return. Only concern I see is the wacky price changes - I bought at $64, now it's listed at $43, and I've see it elsewhere for over $130. Do your research and try to catch the best price available. Amazon does seem to have the best price of anywhere.

I bought this for my husband who had expressed an interest in purchasing one. It's quite decorative and the sound is loud enough to hear on the second floor. I would suggest purchasing one of the hangers that's sold separately. I didn't do that and my husband is using a makeshift hook that serves its purpose but doesn't compliment the gong's decor.

I Love it! Always wanted one of these but they were either too big or too pricey. This one is perfect size and perfect price and carries that nice long sound that just washes over you and makes your mind follow as it expands and fades into the room. Perfect for meditating or just wanting to clear your head. I find myself hitting that gong all the time! You can't help but feel, as you listen to it, that everything is alright in the world even if it's just for ten seconds.

The gong has a very nice tone to it when rung. With it's 10 inch size, the tone is not very deep, but it's not very high either. Like any gong, when rung it sounds a primary tome with upper and lower harmonics. I think a smaller gong would sound too much like a toy, so we are happy with the size and sound. It gets attention when rung! The curved hanger is also quite lovely and adds to the aesthetics. This hanger has a slot cut into it that holds the ringer right next to the gong- very convenient. I have only one small gripe- the hanger does not include a GOOD way to hang from a wall or ceiling. As shown in the diagram, you can hang it from a single point but the downside is that when hung in this manner the gong will twist around when rung. Better to secure it at two points so it stays hung where desired without twisting. I went to the hardware store and got two small eye bolts to solve the problem, but those should have been included in the package.

This gong is great. I would say it sounds MUCH louder than in the sample video...I'm on one side of a 10,000 sq ft office and it definitely annoys people on the other side. Very nice, rich sound as well. You can use this gong to alert people at your office that it's time for yoga or mediation, or to signal the beginning of a kung fu fight to the death, or you can use this gong when the fight is over and guards must be summoned to drag the loser's corpse away. Great all-around gong!

This is the first gong we have ever owned. Visually - gorgeous! I love the hammered texture, it looks so beautiful hanging on its own. Sound - Since I wasn't able to preview the sound myself, I was a little nervous purchasing this for my husband's Christmas gift, but it sounds amazing! Rich, pleasant and uplifting. It was a fun way to ring in the new year!

Loved this gong and its tone. We ring it all the time when entering the house and leaving our fay behind.

Schöner Gong. Sieht sehr edel aus. Der Ton ist schön

Il suono è forte E si espande bene anche all’aperto

Absolutely perfect! Exactly what I was looking for! The chime is so beautiful...sounds like church bells!

Amazing sound Amazing. Love it!

Destination théâtre et spectacle en général. Son très mélodieux, prolongé, profond; la manière d'utiliser la mailloche permet de moduler la gravité du son; objet très léger et peu encombrant
