Title: Interesting Design, Beautiful Sound
Review: After seeing these for sale while on vacation over four years ago at a flea market, my wife had to have one. However, being a tourist hot spot, the asking price was beyond unreasonable.. This is where Amazon comes in. We were able to locate this with ease, the price was reasonable and shipping was quick!We hung it on our patio where it got plenty of breeze to keep it singing. It's not a loud gong, as there is a rubber ring around the "mallet," but it's very relaxing to sit and listen to. We got lots of compliments on it. After four years of ownership though, it was time to retire this gong. We live in the midwest, and the weather has not kind. And, although we only hung it three out of our four seasons; the wood was badly pitted and chipped, the varnish was all but gone, and the metal looked as if it had been through battle.. but it was still functional! The sound wasn't as vibrant as it once was, but it held up well.
Is the review positive or negative?
