Thetazen Shakti Wind Gong
The Thetazen Shakti Wind Gong brings the bright, immersive voice of the traditional Chinese wind gong to your practice. Hand hammered from responsive bronze and finished with a luminous polished face, the Shakti delivers a fast, shimmering wash of sound that fills a room within seconds of the first strike.
The name carries its own meaning. Shakti, in Hindu tradition, is the personification of divine feminine creative power, the active force that sets the universe in motion. The name suits this gong perfectly. From its polished center, light radiates outward in a brilliant sunburst, while the hammered outer ring swirls with the look of energy caught mid-motion. The bright core is the source, and the textured edge is that power rippling outward into the room. It is strength and movement, rendered in bronze.
Each Thetazen Shakti Wind Gong is available in four sizes to suit your space and intention:
26 inch - 15 pounds
30 inch - 20 pounds
38 inch - 37 pounds
40 inch- 42 pounds
The smaller sizes offer a quicker, brighter response that suits intimate settings and travel, while the larger gongs deliver a fuller, more enveloping wash built for studios and stages.
Wind gongs, also known as feng gongs, trace their roots to China, where flat bronze discs were crafted to produce a crashing, oceanic bloom of overtones. Unlike the deep, focused fundamental of a traditional Chau gong, a wind gong responds the instant it is played, releasing a cascade of bright harmonics that has earned it a lasting place in orchestras, ceremonies, and the modern sound therapy room.
Today the wind gong is valued across sound therapy sessions, meditation, yoga studios, and live performance. Its quick attack and rolling sustain make it ideal for building energy, opening a space, or carrying listeners into deep relaxation. A firm strike fills the room with movement, while a lighter touch creates a soft, continuous atmosphere that holds attention without overwhelming it.
Please note: the photographs and audio files shown are representative examples of the gong you will receive. Because each gong is hand finished, slight variations in appearance and tone are natural and expected. A stand is not included but is available for purchase separately.
