How do you take care of a gong?Gongs should be cleaned from time to time. Dirt, which builds up during set-up, playing and transporting, acts on the Gong like a damper and inhibits its natural vibration. Each Gong has a wax coating to guard against oxidizing and dirt build-up. During cleaning the coat is gradually removed and has to be replaced.
