"Chinese" Gongs are also known as Chau Gongs. Chau gongs are known as "diplomatic gongs". They are called this because Chau gongs are designed to grap listeners' attention.
In China the Chau style is traditionally used in diplomatic & political settings to announce the arrival of a special guest, leader or event.
Chinese - Chau - gongs are increasingly popular in American sales & show rooms. Salespeople & representatives are using it to make announcements, pronounce sales & so forth
Chau gongs are also the largest style gongs & therefore, also reflect the grand & important persona of formal announcements.
In addition to it's large & loud nature, the Chau gong is also a very sensitive musical instrument. It is used in musical performances, operas & plays.
The Chau gongs gives you a distinct gong sound that is responsive enough to produce overtones, a wide range of volumes, pitch variation & more.
