In July of 2011, the space shuttle Atlantis launched successfully, the final shuttle flight of the NASA shuttle program. This is a matter of public record. Two weeks later, Atlantis safely touched down from its return flight. This is also a matter of public record.
What you may not know is that, after this safe arrival, when they opened the pod bay doors, it was discovered that Atlantis brought something back. Something unexpected. When the hydraulics eased open the doors, bright Florida sunshine fell down on the stowaway, the 22” Atlantis Gong.
The welcome home crew of select scientists and military officials put the gong to the test. The bravest among them picked up the mallet and swung it at the center of the gong. With repeated blows, the sounds issuing from the gong rolled upward from low tones mid-range sparkle, the consciousness of the scientists and soldiers likewise traveled upward- heavenward- through space and toward the stars. They marveled at the variety of sounds of which the gong was capable.
Cosmic information flooded their minds. They knew the gong would be named “Atlantis”. They experienced all of its 22 dimensions. Then they saw more. They saw that the shuttle Atlantis itself, aware that this was its final journey, and suffering a bout of melancholy had rendered the gong out of the very stuff of its journey- stardust, space ice, meteoroid fragments and imperceptible rays and waves.
Atlantis did not intend this as a headstone for the end of its journey, not by a long shot. Atlantis intended for the gong to be a device to celebrate all that had been accomplished and to acknowledge all the mysteries that still existed.
The 22" Atlantis Chau Gong mixes the classic look and feel of the traditional Chau gong with mystique and depth of our exclusive Atlantis gong.
The science of metallurgy and the art of the gongmaker combine to create a gongs with differing coloration and varying pockets of harmonics throughout the gong. The classic lathing pattern brings balance and control to the overall sound, making this gong something special that's a must-have for sound alchemists, therapists, healers and musicians.
The 22" Chau Gong is the Type O of gongs - it is the Universal Donor. This is that gong when you say you want to hear a "gong-y" sound. This is that gong that even Japanese restaurants feel comfortable putting on their walls.
Rarely will you go wrong with a 22" Chau Gong, and you certainly won't go wrong with it at this price!
And if you live in a locale, like Florida, where hurricanes can pass by, and blow their mess around, round, round, you may want build a hurricane-ready gong stand, like our pal George did!
The 22" Dark Star Gong may look tough...only giving us a glimpse of lathing in the center, not showing it's nether of shiny bronze, like a dragon protecting its belly. However, underneath its rugged exterior lies a sensitivity to rival the great poets of history.
You might even say that within its coy, seductive bronze spot of lathing at the center of the gong... well, there beats a heart of gold. A heart which is waiting to have your rhythm bestowed upon it!
The medium size of the 22” Dark Star does not deter it from throwing out a big voice, singing of inspiration, love, and reflection. A big voice spiced with flavor and bounce in the deeper tones. It is fully prepared to sing its barbaric yawp out over the rooftops. It has an appetite for adventure to inspire the great poets of history.
In short-
This gong contains multitudes of sounds-
You can set them free!
Approaching the center of absolute zero, closing in on unity, you look to the center of it all and see yourself. You approach the event horizon, in a spatial moment just beyond, the Eventual Horizon.
Let the balanced, deep tones of this gong aid you in your spiritual and emotional healing practice. Add one of these gongs to your sound therapy or yoga studio and meditate on the peaceful, harmonic motion of all things.
The 22" Galactic Ring Gong is mysterious and soothing. It is like swimming in the summer ocean at night. Deep tones control the crashes as they lap on the shore of your consciousness.
Often with these gongs, each ring has a slightly different tone.
Many spiral galaxies have rings in them, but not all. Astrophysicists do not yet have the answers as to why the rings form and how, but they embrace the distance between us and the answer of these galactic rings.
That journey from darkness to light is made more delightful with a 22" Galactic Ring Gong.
The 22" Lunar Flare Gong has a deep sound, though not as sharp as its sister, the Solar Flare Gong.
The rim focuses the sound which lingers pleasantly. There's a lightness, like the light from the moon that pierces the thick of night. Deep sound emanates and expands and transforms dark to light.
The Lunar Flare Gong is named after the ring of brightness that appears around the moon in a photo. It embodies the eternal of Earth's only satellite, yet we know the flare only because of today's technology which made it possible to capture this previously unseen and beautiful phenomenon.
The delightful occurrence of the brilliant Lunar Flare is represented in the gong’s bright lathing. Let the 22" Lunar Flare brighten your dark nights (and days!) as the full moon would - without any of the ill effects.
The 22" Mother Tesla Gong is a version of the 22" Chau Gong, the classic bullseye design, however what we asked our gong makers to do was NOT lathe it.
There are several reasons for this, and several effects, sonically and energetically. By not polishing off the iron oxide, the gongmakers make sure that the gong is solid and mellifluous coming out of the oven. These gongs need to look good and sound good as their basic level.
Without polishing the gong, we get less of a forced pitch or crash, and more of a spectrum of tones that are organic to the bronze.
You don't have to be beholden to the organic sound of the Mother Tesla and fear altering it all. The Mother Tesla is a gong that is great for meditation and healing, as it holds a nice deep tone.
Our world’s most eminent science minds agree, in order to temper the effects of summer, the distribution of the sun must be modulated. The sun (a.k.a. “the engine of summer”) must be doled out in increments, more manageable amounts. The science minds have further posited (and philosophers concur) that if the sun were pulsed out in a flaring action, a “solar flare” if you will, we would all be better off for it.
Thus, The 22" Solar Flare Gong was created. The fine rumbling tones of the gong will keep the sun off our backs whenever called upon.
So when the sun begins to beat down mercilessly and summer seems to take a toll, pick up the mallet included with your gong and relax in the refreshing thought that relief is just a gong away.
Ring out the message of tolerance and moderation. Ring out some sonic SPF. Ring out your 22” Solar Flare Gong. Ring to help save summer. Ring out the message of tolerance and moderation. Ring out some sonic SPF. Ring to help save summer.
(NOTE: The 22” Solar Flare Gong can be played in any season. It’s always good to get a jump on next summer.)
The 22” Wind Gong is a high quality gong!
Perfect for the office, for the the drum kit, for the car dealership! Perfect for the kids, the retired folks, the middle aged diplomat!
We like to use ours at Demolition Derbies, Roller Derbies, and the Brown Derby Restaurant.
It's hard to find a deal this good on a combo like this.
The 24” Atlantis Gong is a gift from the deep. It's a gift from the deep ovens in China where this gong is created. It's a gift of salt and heat which gives the Atlantis Gong its deep color flavor. It's a gift of remembrance from the deep underwater wisdom of Atlantis.
The Atlantis Gong, as an unlathed gong, will hold a deep tone. Through those deep tones ring otherworldly, watery overtones. Surprising and soothing and fun to play with. Splash around with the sound.
The 24” Chau Gong is a gong to shuttle your soul to the sky, this gong builds slowly and subtly on itself to create a perfect, classic gong wash. Its rich tones make this a great gong for meditation and other metaphysical work. This gong holds its power deep within itself but can be played to a surprisingly loud volume creating an immensely charged meditative space. Send your spiritual self to the moon and back with a Chau Gong!
Or if you are not the meditative type, perhaps this gong is meant for celebration!
Your business made a large sale? Hit that gong!
You are throwing your neighbor's ex-wife's fourth cousin's dog a surprise birthday party? Gong hits abound!
You are proposing your everlasting commitment to the love of your life? Bang a gong!
You are giddy about your new purchase of a Chau gong? Wait until we ship it to you...THEN HIT THAT GONG!
The 24” Subatomic Gong is closely related to the Chau Gong, but comes with an extra lathed ring. The extra ring of shining bronze means an extra layer of shining sound.
The Subatomic Gong holds a deep low tone, the strong rumble that gets your cells vibrating. Then it ascends, expands into tones and shimmers a bit faster than a traditional Chau.
It is its own sound, a Subatomic sound that will get all of you vibrating and ready for whatever happens to come next. We just don't know what it will be. But you will be ready.
We're in the process of making a great sample video to illustrate this size and type of gong. If you are interested in purchasing this gong, but need to hear it first, please and we can create a quick video for you.
The 24” Wind Gong has a sound that can be described as a deep splashy crash, a sound quite reminiscent of the wild winds here in Nebraska where Gongs Unlimted is located, this is a loud gong with an exciting tone. Celebrate your breeziest moments with a Wind Gong!
Celebration is refreshing like a spring breeze, why not let a wind gong blow into your life?
Each 26" Atlantis Gong looks slightly different. The gong making process allows for the science of metallurgy to mix with the art of the gongmaker to mix with the magic of fire to create each one of these gongs!
We call these gongs Atlantis Gongs because we imagine, if our film director/submariner James Cameron, were to discover Atlantis in one of his old up and downs in the Marianas trench, and he was to bring up a gong from there it would look like our Atlantis Gong.
Ring the gong to call forth the portal of Atlantis and it's lost cities.
The 26" Atlantis Chau Gong mixes the classic look and feel of the traditional Chau gong with mystique and depth of our exclusive Atlantis gong.
The science of metallurgy and the art of the gongmaker combine to create a gongs with differing coloration and varying pockets of harmonics throughout the gong. The classic lathing pattern brings balance and control to the overall sound, making this gong something special that's a must-have for sound alchemists, therapists, healers and musicians.
The 26" Chau Gong has a deep meditative quality and can be built to a loud volume that can lead to the classic gong wash.
A gong at 26 inches has a better sense of what it wants to do in life. Perhaps it graduated from Gong University, or has settled down with someone it cares about and learned how to co-habitate with another gong of a similar diameter.
Maybe it has traveled a little, realized the mistakes it made at 18 inches or 21 inches - and now is ready to stake its claim on the world stage.
If the gong is an bit shy, but realized it was a member of the LGBT community - Loving Gongs w/ Big Tones - at this point it has probably come out to its parents, Copper and Tin, who would have probably known it some time before, but you know how Tin can be, with those ears of his...
Or perhaps the Chau Gong has long loved the spotlight, and has loved celebrating events with people, loved helping them meditate, and so was always open about the big tones it could create.
Any way you slice it, you have a winner! A gong is a gong is a gong... until you play it, and you can make it yours. Via Love, Excitement, Intensity... whatever you prefer, but once you put your flavor on it, you will have a friend for life.
Approaching the center of absolute zero, closing in on unity, you look to the center of it all and see yourself. You approach the event horizon, in a spatial moment just beyond, the Eventual Horizon.

The 26" 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 tones.
The Mother Tesla Gong maintains a deeper tone. It doesn’t crash like a Wind Gong, or even a Chau.
The 26" Subatomic Gong creates mystic tones with complex overtones when struck. Often, striking it in the different concentric rings will give you a slightly different tone each time, adding to the mystique of these gongs.
For those using it to heal, the Subatomic Gong is wonderful for helping face tough internal issues with aplomb. It helps move those darker energies out. These gongs will allow you to tap into your reserve of strength to heal and grow into a greater person.
The 26" White Gong, also known as the "Double Light Gong", is an awesome musical instrument.
It is all lathed and shiny like a Wind Gong, but has the weight of a Chau Gong and a rim like the Chau Gong.
Hence, it has a gorgeous blend of lows and highs, and gives you tastes of joyous delight and minor profundity.
It's like Blue Velvet…
The 26" Wind Gong, also called the "Feng Gong", which is based on the Chinese word for "Wind", is of the Wind Gong family: meaning that it will crash and splash when struck with enough force. That crash and splash could be compared to the Wind. Hence its name. But also the 26" Wind Gong is where Wind Gongs begin to get enough weight that you can have them have a deeper tone and sustain. The 22" Wind Gong cannot do that.
The wind moves things in this world be it trees or trash. When it ruffles your hair, the wind changes things in this world. The wind can turn things inside out in this world, umbrellas, tents, skirts - Woo! After a crash of wind, a splash of wind, a bright surprise that takes your breath away - the atoms settle once again. Everything returns and nothing is the same. Let this gong blow you away.
