This listing includes a Paiste Orchestra Gong, stand, a Paiste Square Gong Stand and a Paiste M1 Mallet.

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.

Shiny and expressive in a slightly different manner than traditional Paiste Symphonic Gongs. The Symphonic Brilliant Gongs are 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 slightly from the regular Symphonic Gongs. They build up their overtone structure slightly more rapidly, and sometimes you feel the mid-range become a wash a little faster.

Note: The video below may contain a gong with or without the Paiste logo or Tai Loi symbols as an example of the Symphonic gong at this size.

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.

The Paiste Round Orchestra Gong Stand - round with legs - is a strong, solid gong stand. But it is not so heavy you can't lift it! It is super easy to assemble, or disassemble.  It uses two wing nuts to attach the legs to the circle.

Fashioned out of steel tubes and with a matte black finish that is classy and sexy, cool and professional, spiritual and earthly, this stand is not only a musical accessory, it is a metaphor for the single person ripe to become a dyad, for once you realize you are classy and sexy, cool and professional, spiritual and earthly, then you realize you can find the perfect person to "hang" with!

It's a gong stand that can make you feel so excited, that after you assemble it, you may feel like the pictured Mr. Mallethead, like one of the large cats that Siegfried and Roy used to train. ROAARRRRR! You may feel like jumping through it like it was a hoop because you want to please Siegfried, make Roy happy. But please make sure you don't have a gong hanging in it at the time...Or you will bang your head!
