This listing includes the gong, the gong stand, and a gong mallet!Gong Diameter: 32”Gong Stand Measurements:Height : 55” to 61”Width : 44”Depth : 30”*****The 32” Atlantis GongThe totally great thing about our Atlantis Gongs is that each one looks slightly different. The gong making process allows for the science of metallurgy to mix with the art of the gongmaker to mix with the magic of fire to create each one of these gongs! These gongs are like Jazz -- not the team from Utah -- but the music. Improv on a theme....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!It will be fun the day our intrepid bottom of the sea foragers find evidence of ATLANTIS, the antediluvian theme park!Atlantis, the Malletheads know, existed, as we were there.You were too, Mr. and Mrs. Forgetful of Your Past Lives!The Rambo Rimbaud Gong StandRambo meets Rimbaud Fiercely Poetic Gong StandThe truth, we have found in our existence, is that sometimes the simple, utilitarian, and dare we say, prosaic, has an innate poetry to it.Not to say anything plain, or cheap, is poetic.Certainly not if the object was designed, like many a tract home by many a developer, only with profit in mind.But these gong stands are simple, pure and strong. And when you are with them, you feel a passion for clean black lines, the way the pieces of this gong stand fit together in an unusual way. The way they show off the gong, rather than themselves.It is a poetry that is inextricably fused with the manufacture, the forging of the metal, the song of the design, that makes us contemplate the young poet Rimbaud meeting up the celluloid fleck of testosterone called Rambo.Would there be homoerotic conflagrations? Sparks flying? Or incomprehension and fear?Rimbaud, when he was done writing poetry, did run guns in North Africa, they say. And Stallone, does write the grunts that amble out, perhaps not iambically, from Rambo's mouth while he shoots guns in his movies.Well, we suppose such musings are better left to film critics and college students. Not you and us. Andrew from Gongs Unlimited here. We know it can be difficult to find the perfect gong for your needs via the Internet. After all, how many times in your life do you buy a gong? If we're lucky, once! If we're super lucky, you have a house full of gongs. BUT we can help you figure it out! We have lots of sample sound files and videos for you to listen to. AND if you have questions regarding the right size or style of gong, or if you want to mix and match various stands and gongs, send us a message or call (Central Time US) weekends are ok! AND YES!
