Historically in China, this gong was used by royals and those with temporal power to announce and declare themselves, as well as celebrate good fortune, or at least herald it in.Made of bronze, the Chau gong comes out of the oven completely dark-colored, like the outer ring and bullseye, then the gong makers skillfully lathe off the dark part to reveal the shiny ring in the center. They do this on the front and back.The Chau Gong has a rim on its outer edge, and that is where the two holes are drilled that a rope can be put through to hang the gong.When you think traditional Chinese Gong, you can definitely see a Chau Gong in your mind's eye.The Unlimited One Gong StandThis Gong Stand was made in small batches in Lincoln Nebraska, by a master carpenter. The wood is RED OAK, much heavier than the lighter woods used in furniture these days.The stand requires no tools to set up.For many lifetimes - incarnations from Druid to Buddhist to Atheist to Jewish to Inuit to Christian and even the Whodat FL-76 MultiDNA Spiralism of the year 2485 AD, the Malletheads at Gongs Unlimited have heard and heard again the plaintive cries from those who travel with their gongs... prayerful requests for a high quality, great looking RED OAK WOODEN GONG STAND that came apart easily for travel.And was FINISHED IN A DURABLE SATIN LACQUER that looked incredible... and was made by a craftsman in the US, who was an editor at Fine Woodworking magazine in the Cosby Show Years of the 1980s, and wrote The Complete Woodworker’s Companion.YEP.The semi-circle design of the feet is both aesthetically pleasing, as it echoes the circle of the gong, and strong as it is part of the verticals, allowing no wobble.Three pieces!
