Review: This model features a lathed profile like that of a cymbal. The flat surface in the middle area looks to have been scraped finely on the front, while the back part of this area has deep scrapes that overlap at about 30 degrees. This has also been hammered on the front's flat surface, and on the profile, nearest the downturned edge. Even though Wuhan calls this 9", this one measures slightly smaller at 8.75".
So how does it sound? It's interesting, as it does pitch been up from the initial tone. This was most noticeable when giving a good "whack" with the mallet provided with this gong.
