The Jing (징)
The Jing is a large gong used in traditional Korean music, particularly within the genre of Pungmul, which is a vibrant form of Korean folk music. The shimmering sound of the Jing serves as a central rhythm instrument, often heralding grand entrances or transitions in the music performance.
Handcrafted from bronze, the Jing varies in size, resulting in a diversity of tonal expressions, from soothing echoes to a powerful sonic presence that captures the spirit of Korean ceremonies and festivals.
