Paiste Gongs
Historic research provides us with four main centers - Burma, China, Annam, Java - at least 7 gong shapes and sound structures stem from these regions. Only few families knew the tradition of gong making as it was passed from generation to generation. The art of making gongs was veiled in a sense of magic. Gong makers believed that a gong could only succeed with the help of higher powers, and that they were exposed to forces more so than ordinary humans.
The gong was an important element in the lives of Far East people and is still in some countries today. In Asian families, the gong was an attribute of wealth and served as a status symbol. In rites, the gong was used in the evocation of ghosts and in the banning of demons. Touching a gong brought you fortune and strength. In rituals of the Far East, the gong has retained its special significance to this day.
As a musical instrument, the gong accompanied celebrations, funeral ceremonies, songs, and theater plays. In the music of the Asian high cultures, the gong was used as an orchestral instrument. Orchestras with gong plays containing up to 18 notes were not seldom. They were also played in private concerts at residences.
Since about 1790, gongs were used in European orchestras. Since then, the terms "Tam Tam" for flat gongs, and "Gong" for bossed gongs, have become customary. However, the authentic term in all languages of the origin countries is GONG.
Paiste Symphonic Gongs
The oldest version of the instrument, Symphonic Gongs have a slightly raised surface (without boss) with a harmonic and universal sound structure. The fundamental note of the gong is balanced with the instrument's complex overtones.
The characterizing word Symphonic thereby should not be misinterpreted as describing the literal sense of classical symphonic orchestra application but its original sense to unite harmonic sounds. The describing word universal shall be understood as “sound in its entirety”. The sound of these gongs can be influenced and varied through the nature of the stroke, as well as the size, weight, and composition of the mallets. By varying the striking points, highs, lows, and various sound mixtures contained in the entirety of the gong’s sound sphere may be extracted and played up. Symphonic Gongs feature some of the largest examples of the instrument, like the 60” and the extraordinary 80”, the world’s largest playable gong. |

Schlagwerk
Schlagwerk Wind Chimes Tageston Day Tone
The sound of comfort Tones that create emotional warmth, provide strength and give a offer a sense of security. The atmosphere is created by an extract from the harmonic series (A). The brain then expands this by several tones: the low range in particular is perceived especially strongly by our subconscious. It stands for strong vitality and frees anyone trapped in the greyness of the daily grind.
Schlagwerk Wind Chimes Sonnenton Sun Tone
The sound of light Tones that strengthen the consciousness and trigger positive energy. The clearly defined pentatonic (C D E G A C) on the sun tone (tuned somewhat lower than the Western C) unites the body and mind in total harmony. The positive prevailing mood strengthens the consciousness. Clear, almost transparent overtones increase intensively in the high range.
Schlagwerk Wind Chimes Shiva Shakti
"The sound of the fusion of sun and moon Round, warm tones that lead to a fusion of contrasts. These wind chimes come in two tonic notes in thirds (approximately equal to our western scale notes G# and B) with their corresponding fifths and octaves. Shiva Shakti is the union of the planetary tones (according to mathematician Hans Cousto) of the sun and the moon
