Guest guest Posted February 4, 2003 Report Share Posted February 4, 2003 It is worth your while to get the video on playing the Gong that Yogiji made. There is other info I can share. The one thing I will share right now is to "never strike a gong" from a perpendicular angle. Yogiji calls it an offense and an insult. Always strike from an angle. Also, KartaPurkh, how long ago was it that you bought your Gong? That is an amazingly low price? What about your stand?

Guest guest Posted February 4, 2003 Report Share Posted February 4, 2003 I'll look for the video. And strangely enough, I seem to make a practice of striking with a circular stroke as if the gong were on e the edge of an arc, Sat Nam --- Dharam Singh <dharam wrote: > It is worth your while to get the video on playing > the Gong that Yogiji made. > There is other info I can share.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2003 Report Share Posted February 5, 2003 Sat Nam Karta Purkh, Actually, you're playing it correctly. My words were for clarity's sake for others. Gurucharan prepared an excellent manual on playing the Gong. I don't know if it is available. I'll ask. The video is good, also, but the book lays it out very clearly. What I wanted to know from you was how you got such a great price and when it was you bought your Gong. Sat Nam, Dharam KartaPurkh Khalsa wrote: > I'll look for the video.

Guest guest Posted February 5, 2003 Report Share Posted February 5, 2003 Sat Nam Dharam Singh: I bought the gong about 5 years ago at a local Kansas City percussion shop named Explorer's. I go by that area about once a week or so and if you like I can check and see what the price is theses days. It comes with a mallet and wrought iron stand. Let me know.
