Martin Bläse plays giant gong called "Beyond"

It's the Gong Beyond Gongs... A giant 55 inch masterpiece, adorned with the Milky Way.
Gong Master Martin Bläse, from Germany, is a third generation silversmith. The artist handcrafted the giant "Beyond" from nickel silver for his tour of Asia.
He says it takes him over 80,000 taps with a hammer to turn a custom-made metal sheet into a regular sized gong - let alone a giant like this one.
He is in Hong Kong on his first tour of Asia. He played on Friday night (May 11, 2019) at Martha Collard 's Red Doors Studio.
Gongs are one of the oldest musical instruments and date back to the Bronze Age. Martin Bläse makes sacred instruments with both rare and common metals and is a pioneer of the use of titanium.
