This is most popular size Paiste Gong for Yoga and Sound Therapy. It's also a great medium size gong/tam tam for orchestral use.
Incredible fast responding gong with a huge swell. Great for the quick, short rolls in Stravinsky's Rite of Spring.
The 20-inch chau — the smallest of the fleet, more struck-color than crash. Perfect at the top of a graduated set.
The 22-inch chau — fast attack, short bloom, and a brightness that reads as pitch. Contemporary scores love this size.
The 24-inch chau — a small gong with a clear, singing fundamental. The upper voice in a gong choir.
The 28-inch chau — bright, responsive, and quick. The theater-pit and chamber-ensemble workhorse.
The 30-inch chau — a warm, focused medium tam that speaks quickly and doesn't swallow the ensemble.
This is a huge instrument that can nearly over powers any orchestra. A great instrument for various Stockhausen repertoire.
The 40-inch chau — a true orchestral heavyweight with a slow, oceanic bloom. Mahler and Shostakovich territory.
This is an incredible instrument that is very sensitive in soft dynamics and roars at loud dynamics with an incredible wash of sound. Perfect for all around orchestral use.
The 34-inch chau — big enough to end a symphony, manageable enough for every stage. The most-requested size in the fleet.
The 32-inch chau — the versatile middle of the fleet, equally at home in orchestral crashes and chamber-music color.
