Great gift, nice tone.

The tone is great for ending a meditation session!

Mine has a nice rich tone that send my mind the message that this is important and help to focus me in on the ritual at hand when ever I ring it clear and loud

I was worried that it would be cheap or chintzy, but it is a quality piece of equipment that has a great tone on top of being very attractive.

If your looking for a good small gong with a great clear tone when you strike it, this is the desk to sized gong for you

but I was pleasantly surprised the tone was great and even though it isn't really expensive it does look nice in his office.
