It’s a more recent design created by Chinese gong makers and is available to all gong sellers, so we felt compelled to put it in the Traditional section. It is basically a Wind Gong, but with concentric bands of lathed and unlathed circles. The unlathed parts control the crash and splash, less than a Wind Gong. The rings concentrate the tones and it does not open up sound-wise like a fully lathed gong.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eClick\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/gongs-unlimited.com\/blogs\/unlimited-blog\/gong-basics-comparing-different-gongs\" title=\"Comparing Chinese Gongs - Video Examples\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eto check out our blog with videos comparing different styles of our Chinese Gongs, including the Solar Flare Gong.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ccenter\u003e\u003chr width=\"75%\" noshade\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp class=\"desc\" id=\"37304483597\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe 14\" Solar Flare Gong:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNavigators since the days of yore have depended on the stars as a reliable source of light by which to guide their journeys.
