Gongs of the Muong
Gongs are musical instruments made of brass and bronze. A set includes 12 gongs of three types with different names, sizes and tones. Chot gongs are 20-30 cm in diameter and produce a high tone. Bong gongs, which are 40-50 cm in diameter, produce middle tone. The largest are dam gongs, which are 60-90, or sometimes even 100 cm in diameter and produce a bass tone.
Gongs and sac bua songs are played by women during New Year festivals, weddings or funerals, though sometimes men and women play together. Each musician plays one gong, holding its trap and using a wooden mallet with a cloth covered tip to beat at the center of the gong.
