A Bit About Gongs

Gongs come in all sizes,

from tiny little dinner gongs and wind chimes to 80" diameter gongs.  That's 203cm or more, almost 8ft across ... enormous!
They have different surface finishes, different rims and different tones or sounds; they come smooth, dimpled or striated and there are various companies that make them.
 
 

My gongs are made by the Paiste Company which is family owned and operated and whose story began in 1901 in Russia ... you can click on the link to find out more about them.

Their company and their name is recognized worldwide and their gongs and cymbals are played in orchestras and bands throughout the world.  Their sound quality is undisputed.

Did you know that the Gong is named after the sound it makes?

I've just finished a weekend of gonging at Mt Romance, the Sandalwood Factory in Albany.  Click the link to find out more.  Such a beautiful venue and the sandalwood fragrance pervading the air is glorious.
Did you know I am a registered outlet for Mt Romance Sandalwood Products? 
You can buy directly from me, in Perth.

Sandalwood Oil

 ... is anti-bacterial, anti-inflammatory and it works on the central nervous system to calm and soothe.  
In all my sessions you receive a free scarf infused with sandalwood oil; because to my mind it is a perfect synthesis; the soothing harmonies of the Gongs, plus the subtle calming fragrance of sandalwood oil.

Comments from the weekend ...
