Paiste 38" Planet Gong B1 Sun - 126.22 Hz

Paiste 38" Planet Gong – B1 Sun (126.22 Hz)

The Paiste 38" Sun Planet Gong is one of the largest and most powerful instruments in Paiste's renowned Planet Gong series. It is tuned to a fundamental of B1 (63.11 Hz), with the Sun tone of 126.22 Hz one octave above – the frequency calculated by Hans Cousto, author of The Cosmic Octave, to represent the Sun.

At 38 inches, this gong delivers a deep, commanding bass with very long sustain and slowly blooming overtones. Played softly, it creates a warm, enveloping wash of sound; played with more energy, it swells into a full, room-filling roar that can carry an entire gong bath.

In sound healing, the Sun gong is associated with the centre, vitality and inner strength, and is often described as a doorway into deeper states of consciousness. That makes it a natural anchor instrument for gong baths, deep meditation and sound journeys.
