Zildjian 40" Gong

This is a beautiful sounding gong that can be played softly and with increasing resonance. Easy to control and very responsive. This gong was to be used for complex soundscapes and sound journeys. The big issue is the quality control. Mine came with a pitted and scratched surface where the packaging had been perforated and some tape had been placed over the rip but the Quality controller at Thomann had not checked the product. It was delivered and I have been waiting two weeks (and still ongoing) for the issue to be resolved. Very disappointed. I have only given one star because of the quality and the poor returns process that leaves the customer waiting.
