This listing does not include a mallet.

Note: There are some small marks near the center of the gong. This is a result of the forging process and is purely cosmetic and does not affect the sound of the gong. Close-ups and details are in the video below.

We recommend purchasing an M5 Paiste Gong Mallet for this gong! You can find them here: Paiste Mallets

Paiste Planet 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.

Planet Gongs are similar to Paiste's Symphonic Gong series. The difference is that each gong is tuned to a dominant fundamental tone as listed, as well as a prominent harmonic overtone in the 4th octave.

Listeners can experience the energy of these celestial bodies via the vibrations these gongs create. When played with intention, Planet Gongs open up possibilities for spiritual and emotional healing.

Chiron - discovered in 1977 - the comet-asteroid that orbits mostly between Uranus and Saturn - named after the Mythic Wounded Healer a centaur half horse and half human who was wounded in the leg and subsequently pursued healing with the teaching of Apollo and eventually taught Aesclepius, the Greek God of Medicine. Chiron serves as a connecting point. It is between Saturn (traditional, structured, predictable) and Uranus (eccentric, unpredictable, and inventive). Chiron folks strive to bring new ideas into existing structures, or bring some structure to innovative ideas.

The Malletheads are definitely Chiron-influenced, if you hadn't guessed by our site. We think the Paiste Chiron Gong is a valuable gong for many alternative healers, psychologists, and sound therapists. Many of us overcome our own wounds as we become healers and energy workers and it is what makes us empathetic to our clients' concerns. YAY! CHIRON!
