Does the gong move a lot when struck with the mallet? I want to hang it 4 inches from a wall - will it hit the wall?

It shouldn't unless you hit it hard. You do not need to hit it hard to get a nice sound.

If you strike it dead on in the middle then you should be fine. It does have a nice sound.

It depends on how hard you hit it -- four inches would be pretty tight and I could easily see it swinging into the wall.

It depends on how hard you hit it. It dies move and just my thoughts it was a little too small for my needs but has a nice sound.

We have it on a hook like one that you would hang over a door. The gong vibrates but doesn't hit the wall. I luv it! Its a great purchase. We hit the gong when we get new clients!! Its high quality and a great purchase. Happy Thanksgiving. Alice

As you can see from the picture, it hangs from a cord, sort of like wind-chimes. That wavy horizontal piece supports the actual gong while the cord above ends in a loop that you can hang from whatever you want. The circle measures about 9.5 inches diameter, so it's a little big for a desk, and a little small for a dedicated stand in a room. Mine is hanging from the curtain rod between two windows. You can make different tones depending on where and how hard you strike it, but I'd say that overall it is a little over halfway up the scale of gong tones, but it gives a sort of majestic resonance. It's not something you'd play in a symphony, but it makes a good signalling device and adds to room decor. As you can see from the picture, it hangs from a cord, sort of like wind-chimes.

I have blasted mine pretty high and it doesn't move a centimeter. It's solid and heavy so not to worry !

Not too tick at all..about 3"JUST FYI..if you want to swing it sideways then you have to pull out little first then depending on TV Size. If u are pushing it against the wall then only about 3"

The gong is a baritone, not high-pitched. It does NOT come with a stand. We bought a short Shepherd's hook to hang it on. Perfect fit for it. We liked that the mallet came with the gong.

I suggest you to place it about 2.5/3.0 feet away from walls. It should be enough... Have a good workout!

I bought this bed for my mother so I do not actually use it. I did notice that the bed never touched the wall when the head is at fully raised position. 4" away from the wall sounds about right.

I am at work now offshore, however we live in a brick home and with standard brick wall 4 inch walls it was about 2 inches short coming thru the wall. Had to make some slight adjustments to make it work, and it does do a good job. If I had to guess how long 10 inches but this is a guess. Very high quality construction.

It holds the guitar straight, about an inch off of the wall. My kids run through the house and the guitar never hits, just shakes a bit.

Depending on the height of the speaker, yes it may hinder up/down movement. I suppose you could put an additional piece (block of wood) between the bracket and the wall to allow more movement so that the top and bottom of the speaker will be further away from the wall. Hope this helped.

The guitar hangs a few inches from the wall. The weight of the guitar keeps it hanging straight. Not a problem.

Movement is very smooth, but it does not have a run-on spin action. My piece is about 36" tall, which means I have not spun it really fast because it would fall over.

The bell will NOT work if it is mounted vertically! The swinging weighted piece inside the bell is what allows the "button" on the top to stay lifted. When it is on a wall, the weight doesn't keep the "button" up, so when you push on it, there is no movement and no sound!

Im sure it depends on the body of your guitar. My acustic 12 string is a half inch from the wall but mt eletric bass is 2 inches from the wall.

The hook can easily carry the weight of your skillet. Is your bar attached to the wall securely? You're more likely to have a problem with the bar pulling away from the wall if you have a lot of weight on it.

It has a substantial counterweight that can be moved and even taken off. You can also slide the boom through the swivel on the main shaft to counterbalance almost anything you put on it. However, the boom is thin wall steel and will not handle a lot of wieght if extended too far.

It's not a big gong like you'd hear in "The King and I." It's a Chinese tam tam, 12" in diameter. It's made by Zildgian so you know it's sounds good. The attached video gives you the closest sound of the PO565 except it's pitched about a fifth higher than the one in the video. You can play it soft like the guy in the video or give it a really hard whack. It sounds great. Give a listen: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otucItOqJ_A. Hope this helps. Dave
