WALNUT & COPPER FULL OCTAVE HANGING DINNER GONG

£845.00

SKU: 1080

This unusual Hanging Dinner Gong dates from circa 1900.

Mounted on a solid Walnut Shield are 8 purpose-built Copper & Brass Discs all stamped M & S B Patent.  They sound a full octave when struck by the two strikers.

Imagine the possibilities.  With a little practice you can summon diners to the table with tunes as diverse as Old MacDonald and Ode to Joy.  It makes a good rich sound.

The Gong is fitted with two back plates for hanging.

The Copper is a lovely rich colour and the Walnut has a good patina.
