The Meinl Sonic Energy Wind Gongs are handmade in China from a special bronze alloy. These gongs are also known as Feng or Sun Gong and have an almost flat shape. This flat shape is known to allow the gong's voice to open fully with a wide tonal spectrum and a long sustain. The low tones are more dominant when played softly, but with more powerful playing, the gong opens pleasantly and produces wave-like harmonics. Each gong comes with a beater designed to match the size of the gong.
Kun is said to represent the earth and all that is feminine in nature, and it is a pronoun that refers to mother and woman. Kun is also one of the eight Chinese trigrams.
