Gong which has been forged can not be determined tone. Gong tones new forms after rinsed and cleaned. If the tone is still not appropriate, so that the layer of bronze gongs scraped become thinner. In South Korea also called Kkwaenggwari. But kkwaenggwari made of brass-colored metal is played in a way supported by the five fingers and played with beated a short stick. How to use the five fingers holding kkwaenggwari has yet another special purpose, because one finger (index finger) can be used to dampen vibrations and reduce the gong ringing volume generated.
