Description
Originally referred to in company literature simply as "Gong", the name changed to Turkish Gong circa the 1980s. These are often called "Tam Tams".
Company literature from the 1980s describes them as such:
"Designed for traditional orchestra and Symphonic environments. Specially tapered and edged to produce a deep, mellow sound. Powerful, sustained tone with rich quality."
There was a mount hole in the center, if one chose to play it as a cymbal.
The model's 6 size options were limited to only 4 in the later years. (18" and 20" were deleted)
For a period of time, these Gongs were offered in a choice of two weights - medium-thin or medium-heavy. (See 1970s Catalog page)
