Wind Gong 65 : Exactly the Tone that I wanted

I thought it would be very hard, if not impossible to buy a Gong online. However, I was proved totally wrong because with some Gongs, you can hear the tones of the Gongs, so you can purchase the one that is right for you. I listened to the recording & Ordered this Gong. It arrived today & I'm delighted that the tone is exactly what I was after. It is a deep tone - not tinny in any way. My only concern was the lack of protection in the packaging, that could be improved. It was just in a cardboard box with a few bits of padding with it, but the box was damaged - luckily the Gong was affected. But considering they are expensive piece of equipment, I feel they should be better packaged with far more padding around the circumference of the Gong.
