But slit gongs were used to communicate, as the sides of the instrument were made of slightly different thicknesses to produce two different pitches—a high tone and a low tone—when struck by mallets or bare hands. This contrast can mimic the words of a tonal language, essentially 'talking.'Ernest Chaplet (1835-1909). Vase. Flammed porcelain. 1909.
