Paiste Planet Gong, 24″ Diameter, G#2 Neptune

Paiste have been creating & manufacturing gongs since the 1930s, recreating a traditional – and somewhat mysterious skill – that has been with us for over 3000 years.

Paiste 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. These unique characteristics allow Planet gongs to resonate in harmony with the cycles of the celestial bodies and communicate a distinct aspect of the ‘music of the spheres’. Their sound colour is extremely mysterious and conveys an unusual, unfathomable atmosphere.

Each Paiste Planet gong is tuned to its own particular harmonic parameter and the 24″ G#2 Neptune is tuned to G2#/Gis-105,72 Hz based on planetary calculation with a 3rd Octave of G3#/gis-211,44 Hz and a 4th Octave of A4/a’-448,02 Hz.

In order to play a Neptune Paiste Planet gong, you will need the skill to understand the complex sounds that can be extracted by the nature of stroke. The sound of these gongs can be influenced by their different diameters, weights, striking points and by no means least, the type of mallets used.

All Paiste Planet gongs are handmade and as such, are not mass produced on a factory conveyor-belt level. Any gong order will have a longer delivery time and even though our gong clientele fully understand this when they make their investment, we need to point out that gongs are not a next-day delivery item. We try our best to keep track of Paiste gong production and provide accurate stock levels but if you want to speak to us about delivery times and stock levels, please get in touch with us and we’ll be happy to personally give you up-to-date information.

It seems we are finally waking up to the power and energy generated by gongs in the hands of skilled gong Masters, with Paiste leading the way by offering their vast range of gongs to healers and therapists throughout the Western world.
