I am working on a piece which uses a gong. I am currently using Sib 6 (upgraded from Sib 5.2.5).

The problem is, although I have chosen gong from the list of instruments, I get a gong (large gong), but I am not keen on the sound of this gong. I have looked at other gongs in the instrument list but I cannot find one which sounds like a gong.

Large gong is too low. Small gong is too high. Tam-tam isn't right either. I am looking for a gong sound which mirrors the sound of the Rank Films bit at the beginning of their films (semi-naked man hitting large gong with big beater). That sound is not too high or low and has a 'wide' sound to it.

Does Sib have that type of gong, and if so, where?
