The planetary gongs of Paiste resonate in harmony with the cycles of the cosmos known from the antiquity as "music of the spheres.. The sound color of these gongs is very mysterious and transmits a very particular atmosphere.

Paiste manufactures all its gongs in its factory in Germany and by artisans with a very extensive experience in the hammered and tuning of gongs.
