Answer 1

There is an online store that sells gongs. That’s it. How big a market is there for gongs? Well, buddist temples, decor in a chinese restaurant, a karate school? I remember decades ago one of those saving and loan scam brokers used to bang one everytime the closed a deal. Across the country maybe a couple hundred.
