The TongGong is a new musical instrument, a metal tongue drum that is related to the family of kalimba's and great new instruments like the HAPI drum, the Milltone and the Bellisphere. But the TongGong has some unique advantages.

The 6 metal tongues are attached to a wooden base. The tongues can be changed and placed in any configuration, and each tongue can be tuned over a range of several tones. Furthermore, the tongues can be fine-tuned very precisely. This makes a great variety of tunings and configurations possible.

An extra dimension of sound opens when you play 2 or more TongGongs together. You get a very spatial and animated sound as the tones of the gongs interact.

And when you're finished playing, the 2 TongGongs fit into each other for compact storage and easy transportation.

Taking this idea one step further, the Triple TongGong Set was created. The 3 TongGongs can be mounted on the included stand and played by a single person. Or you can play it with 2 or 3 people together.

This clip features some improvisation on the Triple TongGong Set. No serious experimental musician can live without it!.
