The sound characteristic of Planet Gongs is comparable to that of Symphonic Gong in diameters 20”-38”.

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. Thus they resonate in harmony with the cycles of the celestial bodies and communicate a distinct aspect of the “music of the spheres” so amply quoted since the Antique. Their sound color is extremely mysterious and conveys an unusual, unfathomable atmosphere.

The 32" Paiste Mercury Gong is a Planet Gong that features a strong fundamental note (C#2) tuned to represent the orbital properties of Mercury (141.27 Hz) as calculated by Hans Cousto. Paiste Planet gongs are used in gong baths, meditation, and sound healing for their focused tone, color, chakra, and effect. This gong includes gong gut. Mallet and Gong Stand not included.
