Meinl Symphonic Tam Tam - 40" / 100 cm

The Meinl Sonic Energy Giant Tam Tams are masterpieces of instrument making that are traditionally hand-crafted in Germany in the European gong-making tradition. The gong craftsmen manufacture these gongs to respond with exceptional sensitivity in all playing situations. Lots of hours were spent handcrafting the metal, that's how they get their unique tone: It's relaxing and atmospheric. The center of these gongs has many fine hammer blows and is slightly sunken into the surface. The surrounding surface is scraped outward in a star shape and marked by large distinctive hammer blows. These beautiful instruments satisfy the highest sonic demands of sound practitioners, sound meditation studios, or leading orchestras. The immense size and power of this instrument will leave any listener in awe and wonder. As matching Gong Mallets we recommend MTTB-40, MGB-L, and for example MGM-L-R, available in different colors.

Please note: This is a handcrafted instrument forged by heating the metal alloy to great temperatures, and then hand hammering the surface to achieve a desired pitch and tone. Our handmade process makes each gong unique, with no two gongs having identical-looking surfaces. Variations in hand hammer patterns and coloration from the heating process will occur, and it's a testament to our highly intricate work that results in exquisite sound.
