Brass Gong

[weidner]

If anyone is ever going to the trouble of casting a gong , then it would be worth going to a bell foundry . Whitechapel still cast and finish hand bells , and I seem to remember that they have patterns for gongs , which would be cast similarly . Bell metal , which is 22% tin , rings better than anything else ( even better than Fowler gears ) I would bet that Whitechapel's gong patterns are imperial . They would tune it too if you wanted .
