The gong is used in various musical and ritual traditions around the world. In China, it is often associated with Chinese classical music and is used in traditional orchestras. In some Indonesian cultures, the gong plays a central role in gamelan ensembles. In addition, the gong is also used in meditative practices, contemporary concerts and musical recordings.

In terms of manufacture, gongs are often made by hand by craftsmen specialising in metalwork. The manufacturing process involves melting the bronze and shaping the metal disc, followed by careful work to tune and balance the gong to achieve the desired sound.

Today, there are manufacturers who specialise in making high quality gongs. Some of the reputable gong manufacturers include Meinl, Sabian, Paiste, Zildjian, Wuhan, and UFIP, to name a few.
