How to clean a gong

If you use your gong very regularly or if it has stood unprotected in the room for a long time, it is possible that a light coating will form on the surface after some time. This can be caused by frequent touching or can simply settle out of the air, much like the lubricating film on a window pane. To prevent your gong from changing luster or color, regular maintenance is important. We have summarized for you how to take care of your Feng Gong, TamTam Gong or other types of Gong.
