This combo comes with Gong, Gong Stand and Gong Mallet.Gong Diameter: 32”Gong Stand Measurements:Height: 56"Width of Base: 55.5”Width of Top: 54"Depth of Feet: 22”The Vietnamese Bamboo Gong Stand is a great stand for home or office. It works wellfor the gong that is played occasionally, struck once to celebrate a sale, or to announce dinner or a guest.This gong stand does NOT work for intense and hard yogic playing. It is NOT a good gong stand to travel with and repeatedly take apart and reassemble. It's that simple. Questions? Contact us. THANKS!*****The 32" Chocolate Drop Gong:The Chocolate Drop gong is similar to the Classic Chau Gong. In fact, it is basically a Chau Gong with the outer dark ring lathed off.The Chocolate Drop Gong is made of bronze and has a thick rim on its outer edge that helps focus the tone.The Chocolate Drop Gong starts from a nice deep fundamental, similar to a Chau Gong, but then the Chocolate Drop will splash, crash a little faster than its cousin the Chau. This is thanks to the outside dark ring being lathed off.Larger Chocolate Drop Gongs, 32 inches and above, can have thick deep tones, thanks to the amount of bronze, that are made more mystical and complex by the extra bit of splash.The Vietnamese Bamboo Gong Stand:There are many many species of bamboo, and they grow much faster than tress. Some bamboo plants can grow up to a yard - meter - in a single day. Bamboo reaches its full size within 3 to 4 months, and within 3 to 7 years the stalk hardens enough for use in construction.Bamboo grows in many climates and is native to most of the world. And this is cool, Mom and Dad - because bamboo is a grass, it does NOT require replanting.Bamboo also absorbs more than two times the carbon dioxide that trees do and generates 35 percent more oxygen, making bamboo growing more important due to global deforestation. It also rocks against soil erosion, uses less water than trees, keeps water in watersheds, and helps lower water pollution due to its high consumption of nitrogen and tendency to absorb pollutants like heavy metals.Not to say Bamboo is perfect. I mean to be serious for a sec, we got Pandas, don't think about it, but we do. Most commercially-grown bamboo is grown in Asia, where like next to zero regulations preserve their forests. Should demand increase too much, bamboo growers may push deeper into surrounding forests, depleting the already-dwindling habitats of threatened or endangered species.Not to mention that Bamboo accounts for 99 percent of the giant panda’s diet. 99 per cent. Damn Pandas! Stick with what you like.
