Paiste Symphonic Gong – 30″
Paiste Symphonic Gongs are works of sonic mastery. Their flat, scraped surface meets a dark rim that flows back from the face creating a unique shape. They are hand-hammered from nickel silver in the European gong-making tradition. They are not tuned but tend to fall within a certain range at a given size.
This style comes with the classic Paiste logo at the top of the face. The presence or absence of the logo will not affect the overall sound of the gong. In choosing, it all comes down to the overlap of your aesthetic preference and gong availability.
The lightweight metal, the unique shape, and the scraped face all combine to create an overall sound that is very clean and meditative, with rich, beautiful harmonics that expand over the deep fundamental tone.
“Symphonic” doesn’t refer strictly to the orchestral use of the word “symphony,” but goes to the root of the word, to the unity of harmonic sounds and the experience of sound in its entirety. These gongs create a symphony of sounds for the listener. They are perfect for musicians, Kundalini yoga practitioners, sound healers, and therapists working with music and tone.

Paiste Pluto Gong – 36″ C#2 140.25 Hz
Pluto would be the farthest planet from the sun if it were still a planet and was discovered in 1930. Though it is named after the mythological god of the underworld, the creators of myths didn’t even know that Pluto existed. The name came from an 11-year-old girl in England.
In general Pluto is associated with Scorpio. Pluto is very harmonically tuned to the (earth) moon and Neptune. To both of them it has an exact quint-quant relation. Pluto is about 40 times farther away from the earth as the sun and a little smaller than the (earth) moon. Nevertheless it is attached to great importance in recent astrology.
The true lonely plant, cast out from the original order by science who see it as only a rock (egads!), Pluto knows what it feels like to be left out, knows what it’s like to live on the fringe, inside and outside. Moving through signs every 13 – 30 years, Pluto also holds generations within its energy. Play the Paiste Pluto Gong for the transformation of group dynamic, for the little rock that, while not technically a planet, totally rocks.
DARK STAR GONG – 36″
The Dark Star Gongs are designed to bring beautiful tones into your life. The Dark Star line resemble our Mother Tesla Gongs, but with a more musical bounce to their tones – yet still able to maintain a moodier sentiment. The tones will bring out your thoughts for gentle examination, and help you grow.
The 36″ Dark Star Gong is a heavy beast of a gong. It is heavier than a Chau Gong, or other similar gongs of its size.
And with this much bronze, you also hear deep deep tones. The Dark Star Gong is the subwoofer of gongs. It is profundity as its nature. It doesn’t strive for it.
While the thickness of metal keeps the Dark Star Gong deep in tone, the lathing of the bronze in the center brings out an interesting musicality and flow.
In this way the Dark Star differs from the Mother Tesla gong, which stays moody and crepuscular. The Dark Star is a gong that gives you an adventure in space.
And space time.
Take a ride with it.
These gongs are wonderful for any situation, be it a sound bath or restorative yoga, or even just as a centering tool in your home! Check these gongs out today.
