I am enjoying playing the 32" Accent, using the M3 mallets. To my ear it sounds like it is tuned towards C sharp/ D2(please feel free to correct me if im mistaken) I can appreciate now why Paiste Scrape the front of the majority of the Gongs. As this 32 and the 28 Accent's i own have polished faces, the difference is notable. Still they are very interesting instruments, with very interesting sound.
The Gong is hung from the ceiling using strong cord and large hooks, this allows the gong to turn 180 degrees to deliver interesting effects,
