Paiste Gong FAQs
Whether you’re purchasing your first Gong or expanding an existing collection, these frequently asked questions cover everything from choosing the right model to playing, caring for and displaying your Paiste Gong.What types of Paiste Gongs are available?
Wind Chimes Australia has the full range of Paiste Gongs available. Choose from Symphonic, Planet, Sound Creation, Bronze, Symphonic Brilliant, Accent and Deco Gongs.Each collection has its own unique tonal qualities, materials and intended applications. For example, Planet Gongs are tuned to the orbital frequencies of celestial bodies using Hans Cousto’s Cosmic Octave system, and tonally very much akin to the Symphonic Gongs, which are renowned for their rich harmonic overtones and versatility.
Which Paiste Gong is right for me?
The ideal Gong depends on how you intend to use it. Smaller Gongs are excellent for personal meditation, home practice and travel, while larger Gongs create deeper, more immersive soundscapes that are ideal for yoga studios, sound healing sessions and Gong baths. If you’re unsure which model or size best suits your needs, we’re happy to provide personalised advice based on your experience and intended use.How do I play my Paiste Gong?
The sound you create will depend on how you play your Paiste Gong. Always use a quality mallet when playing your Gong – view our range of high-quality Gong mallets. Striking in the centre of the Gong delivers a deep, enduring sound. Striking slightly off centre will result in a deep, full, swelling sound. Striking closer to the outer edge will ring a high, bright, roaring sound.Do Paiste Gongs come with accessories?
Every Paiste Gong includes a suspension cord. Gong stands, mallets, protective bags, wax and other accessories are available separately, allowing you to customise your setup according to your playing style and intended use. Browse our Gong accessories.What types of metal are used in Paiste Gongs?
Most Paiste Gongs in our range are made from nickel silver (NS12: 88% copper, 12% nickel)This metal is a sonorous (meaning deep, full) alloy, which produces wonderfully rich, full tones.
The only exception is the bronze Gongs made from bronze (CuSn8: 92% copper and 8% tin). The softer metal of the bronze Gongs generally presents a lower fundamental tone and warmer character than the nickel silver Gongs of the same size.
You’ll find more information about each Gong’s metal properties on their individual pages.
How should I suspend my Gong?
Paiste Gongs should be hung so they can swing freely forward, back, and slightly to the sides without touching the stand. Your Gong will arrive with a special suspension cord. This minimises the transfer of vibrations to the Gong stand. The cord should last a long time, but you may need to replace the cord eventually.To help you determine the right size stand, for example, a 24” Gong is best paired with a 24” Gong stand. View our collection of Gong stands.
How do I care for my Paiste Gong?
Keep dust off the Gong by covering it with a soft sheet or material when not in use. Alternatively, you can purchase a high-quality Gong bag from us to protect your Gong during transport.Remove light dust with a soft cloth and avoid placing your fingertips on the metal by using soft gloves or cloth to handle the Gong.
Paiste Gongs come with a good wax coating, applied in the final stages of production, which should last a long time if handled carefully. We’ll provide detailed care and cleaning instructions when you purchase your order.
