The sizes listed are based on the diameter of the gong.

Paiste Gong Guts suspend Paiste Gongs on their stands, and are designed to impede vibrations from spreading into the stand. This gut string allows your Paiste Gong to be free suspended, leading to unaffected sound.

Gong guts are made of leather. They can fray over time with small hairs and fibers breaking away from the main rope. This is natural and normal. They will maintain their quality for a long time, even when they start to look frayed.
