Collection: Paiste Symphonic Gongs

The Paiste Symphonic is among the most recorded and most trusted gongs in the world — a standard instrument of gong baths, Kundalini yoga, and orchestral work alike. Made in Germany, each symphonic gong offers a balanced, universal sound: a warm fundamental surrounded by a broad spectrum of overtones that build and blossom the longer the gong is played. Sizes run from 20 inches to the monumental 80 inch, and diameter is the main decision — smaller symphonics speak quickly and sit well in ensembles, mid sizes suit most sound healing practices, and the largest instruments produce the enveloping, full-body wash that defines a professional gong bath.

Unlike planet gongs, Paiste Symphonic Gongs are not tuned to a specific pitch, which is precisely their strength: they blend anywhere and reward every technique from soft mallet swells to friction mallets. We keep symphonic gongs in stock alongside the correct Paiste stands and recommended mallets for each size, and our San Francisco and Los Angeles showrooms let you stand in front of one and hear it before committing. In-stock gongs ordered before 1pm PST ship the same day.
