Flat gongs are percussion instruments characterized by their flat, disc-like shape, typically made of metal. They produce a resonant, rich sound when struck, and are often used in various musical genres, including orchestral, traditional, and contemporary music.

They are popular in both performance settings and for sound therapy due to their calming vibrations.
