	Slit-Gongs and Musical Oracles
		During rites of initiation of a diviner, a chorus of slit-gongs will be sounded as the initiate is led through a series of activities that transform her from an ordinary human to a spiritual agent.
		Also in divination sessions with a family group or an individual, the diviner will strike the gong with intricate rhythms while calling upon spiritual powers or punctuate statements with a single sharp strike upon the instrument.
		But as Devisch and Bourgeois have argued, they are not only important for the sounds they create when struck by a stick during a ritual.

	Gong - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The centre spot and the rim of a chau gong are left coated on both sides with the fl copper oxide that forms during the manufacture of the gong, the rest of the gong is polished to remove this coating.
		In contemporary central Javanese usage, the term gamelan is preferred and the term gong is reserved for the gong ageng, the largest instrument of the type, or for surrogate instruments such as the gong komodong or gong bumbu (blown gong) which fill the same musical function in ensembles lacking the large gong.
		Gongs vary in diameter from about 20 to 40 in., and they are made of bronze containing a maximum of 22 parts of tin to 78 of copper ; but in many cases the proportion of tin is considerably less.

		The optical system of the instrument consists of four coaligned telescopes and gratings, which disperse their spectra onto two detectors; both the mirrors and slit assemblies will be adjustable in flight.
		FPA effects include the physical size and location of the slits, and the ability to move those slits to the desired position to guarantee coalignment.
		The 'effective slit width' is slightly larger than the actual slit size here, since a motion of the slit during an observation allows light from a larger range of solid angles to enter the spectrograph, decreasing the resolution.
