do you have a gong in your house?

If so, how often/when do you strike it?

My friend's mother has a small one. She's hilarious and rings it at parties. She brought it to my friend's wedding, too.

Gong, no, but we have drum kit and many accessories. A gong might be fun.

My friend's parents had a gong in their house/porch area growing up. There was a race to ring it every time Penn State scored a touchdown.

More than one....

Yes, we have one. Maybe a couple of times a month? Used to do it more when we first got it and an invitation to dinner. Love it, though!

The butler strikes the gong to announce dinner to the household.

I always wanted one while growing up. We had a big brass bell my parents would ring when it was time for us to come in from playing in the neighborhood. I thought a gong would be much cooler.

I thought the gong announced that it was time to dress for dinner.

We have a bell. My brother and sister have gongs. We use it to let everyone know it's time to wash up and set the table. Dinner will be ready imminently. Our father started the tradition. He blew a conch shell to announce dinner when we were growing up.

My parents had a dinner bell, too!

No, but my in-laws do. Sometimes my nieces or nephew hit it to announce dinner.

Well now I wish we had somewhere to put a gong

I have a conch shell that I use while praying. Good exercise for thyroid gland.
