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” Atlantis Gong:The 32 inch Atlantis will blow you away, if all you have played is regular 22 to 28 inch Chinese Gongs like Winds or Chaus.This Gong has so much more to give - in terms of sound uniqueness and exotic flavors. Deep and not easy to crash, subtle, but with Fauvist (like the painters) strength, the 32 inch Atlantis will bring you and your friends to new levels.Plus it is gorgeous and cool looking.So why are they called Atlantis Gongs?We call these gongs Atlantis Gongs because we imagine, if our film director/submariner James Cameron, were to discover Atlantis in one of his old up and downs in the Marianas trench, and he was to bring up a gong from there it would look like our Atlantis Gong. OH! JOY!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.
