ABOUT THE PAISTE GONG RANGE…
(Words and descriptions from Paiste)
SYMPHONIC GONGS
Are Paiste’s oldest version of the instrument, Symphonic Gongs have a slightly raised surface (without boss) with a harmonic and universal sound structure. The fundamental note of the gong is balanced with the instrument's complex overtones.
The characterizing word Symphonic thereby should not be misinterpreted as describing the literal sense of classical symphonic orchestra application but its original sense to unite harmonic sounds. The describing word universal shall be understood as “sound in its entirety”.
The sound of these gongs can be influenced and varied through the nature of the stroke, as well as the size, weight, and composition of the mallets. By varying the striking points, highs, lows, and various sound mixtures contained in the entirety of the gong’s sound sphere may be extracted and played up.
Symphonic Gongs feature some of our largest examples of the instrument, like the 60” and the extraordinary 80”, the world’s largest playable gong.
Sizes: 20″ - 22″ - 24″ - 26″ - 28″ - 30″ - 32″ - 34″ - 36″ - 38″ - 40″ - 50″ - 60″ - 60" SGM - 80″
planet gongs
O.K - so these are our joy and the mainstay of our sound healing work. They are amazingly beautiful pieces of art in and of themselves. To say we love them is an under statement !
Planet gongs and the 38” Earth gong in particular, was our first introduction to Paiste gongs and it has been a passionate love affair ever since - culminating in us now being able to share - and rave about - these amazing creatures.

PLANET GONGS
PLANET GONGS
The sound characteristic of Planet Gongs is comparable to that of Symphonic Gong in diameters 20”-38”. Planet Gongs are tuned in conformity with the natural harmonic series based in the orbital properties on the Earth, the Moon, the Sun, and the Planets according to calculations of Hans Cousto. Thus they resonate in harmony with the cycles of the celestial bodies and communicate a distinct aspect of the “music of the spheres” so amply quoted since the Antique. Their sound color is extremely mysterious and conveys an unusual, unfathomable atmosphere.

symphonic brilliant gongs
The Symphonic Brilliant Gongs are principally identical in construction to the Symphonic Gongs but are laboriously hand polished to achieve their distinctive mirror-like look. The sound of the brilliant models differs only marginally from the conventional Symphonic Gongs. They build up their overtone structure slightly faster.
The fundamental note of the gong is balanced with the instrument's complex overtones. The sound of these gongs can be influenced and varied through the nature of the stroke, as well as the size, weight, and composition of the mallets. By varying the striking points, highs, lows, and various sound mixtures contained in the entirety of the gong’s sound sphere may be extracted and played up.
Sizes: 20″ - 22″ - 24″ - 26″ - 28″ - 30″ - 32″ - 34″ - 36″ - 38″
THE ONLY VERSIONS CURRENTLY AVAILABLE FOR SALE ARE THE ONES IN THE MAIN PICTURE (right) I.E THOSE WITH ‘PAISTE’ ACROSS THE TOP.
* On a personal note: we bought and sold two of these gongs in very short order and must say that the pictures don’t do them justice. They are very striking visually and we found that they had very deep, rich tones, even the relatively small 24”. Glorious. SB’s
ACCENT GONGS
Accent Gongs are special gongs with an aggressive, foaming, and lively sound character. A multitude of sounds may be achieved with various playing techniques.
