The bell ansich is very nice and also the gong sound is very homogeneous and pleasant! The workmanship is good and the installation very easy. However, this gong is extremely quiet ... very quiet, I would say too quiet for most of the budget! To my mind (I can hear very well and I am 35 years old ;-)) This bell is only suitable for very small rooms. When my home was the gong at least in the large hall completely under!
