24" Neptune G#2 - 211.44 Hz

Paiste Planetary Tuned Gongs are tuned to the orbits of the celestial bodies in our solar system. These frequencies are made audible thanks to the groundbreaking work of Hans Cousto, author of The Cosmic Octave. They’re similar to Paiste's Symphonic Gongs, but each one has a distinct, finely tuned frequency for their fundamental note and overtones expanding over it. Listeners can experience the energy of these celestial bodies from the vibration of each gong. When played with intention, Planet Gongs open up possibilities for great spiritual and emotional healing.

Neptune is the eighth planet from the Sun and is the most gaseous planet. The blue color of this planet is actually from methane in its atmosphere. Interesting. Perhaps this is why people often describe Neptunian energy as a little foggy or cloudy. All the ideas of reality that we burp up come into play.

People often call us asking for a New Moon Gong or the Full Moon Gong. Different people call them by different names. Paiste does not label their Moon Gongs as Full or New. Sidereal refers to the time the Moon takes to make one full revolution around the Earth relative to the background stars. Since the Earth is constantly moving as it orbits our Sun, the Moon travels slightly more than a full circle (360 degrees) to get from new moon to new moon. That period is the synodic month (a.k.a. lunar month), longer than the sidereal. The Sidereal month is 27.322 days while a Synodic month is 29.531 days.

Uranus is an awakener who brings flashes of insight that allow you to creatively come up with new solutions for oppressive circumstances or any circumstance that you're ready to change. It is a Universal force with powers completely out of our control. In that way Uranian energy is very much like gong energy. The expansion of sound is not predictable, it is moving with your energy to open up new spaces, new opportunities for growth. Play with the Uranus gong to reawaken your original creativity and follow the call to be here in your own eccentric way.

Venus is the goddess of love, beauty and partnership. She points to the best pathway for social harmony in each of our lives and tells us where we struggle with confidence and self-esteem. She helps us find a strong sense of our own self-worth and value. Working with a Venus Gong can be very beneficial for a soul who incarnated with Taurus prominent in her or his chart. To balance things out, let us also acknowledge that Venus also rules Libra, that balancer, and the autumn in the Northern Hemisphere.

Paiste Bronze Gongs are works of sonic mastery. They are hand-hammered from CuSn8 Bronze- 92% copper and 8% tin - in the European gong-making tradition. Bronze Gongs provide an abundant spectrum of frequencies and harmonics. They are individual, versatile, and spirited.

When the sound of Paiste’s bronze gongs is compared to the same size nickel silver instruments, the bronze ones generally present a lower fundamental note, warmer character, and a more voluminous sound.

Due to the molecular property of bronze, these gongs will change more noticeably over time than their nickel-silver counterparts. The tension release that comes from playing as well as the natural aging of the metal create an evolution of each Paiste Bronze Gong in league with the influence of the gong player.

The design of the Paiste Bronze Gong No. 8, with its concentric, textured ridges is a completely new gong design from Paiste. Playing this gong will be a new exciting adventure for even the most experienced gong player. These gongs maintain a deep, focused fundamental when played at the center but have great potential for finding new sonic layers with all kinds of mallets.
