An audio sample of a Balinese gong, plus some articles.
These are lovely instruments (though the big ones are heavy!). I really recommend experimenting with a few once. All rooms and instruments have modes, but on these you can actually see where to strike (or brush, or scrape, or throw rice....) to excited certain modes (the middle of the extruded rims, sometimes indicated with a line). Great fun, and quite inspirational for some modal synthesis. Kas.
