This listing comes with gong and mallet only. Imperfect items come as-is. We can't accept returns on imperfect items, but you're getting a great deal on an instrument with a good sound.
The Mother Tesla Gong is an unlathed gong. This is how a gong looks when it comes out of the oven. Most Chinese gongs have this color when they come out of their cast mold, but then are lathed to create different tone. It has a deep, dark tone and a slow, subtle crash.
Occasionally, gongs arrive to us as this one did, with some imperfections. These types of things can happen in the casting process, when a small flake of metal separates from the rest of the gong during the cooling process. It's easy to remove the flake and preserve the sound, as we did, but it leaves a small visual imperfection.
We've discounted it just for you and we think it's the perfect addition to any sound therapists toolkit.
