Paiste Planetary Gong Mars – 32"

Paiste P-PG81432 Planetary Gong – Mars (D3) – 32"

Product Description

The Paiste Planetary Gong – Mars (32") is a dynamically responsive instrument tuned to the orbital frequency of Mars, translated into sound through the research of The Cosmic Octave by Hans Cousto.

Built in the tradition of Paiste’s Symphonic Gongs, this Planetary Gong is tuned to a dominant fundamental tone with a clearly defined harmonic overtone in the 4th octave. The Mars Gong, tuned to D3, delivers a focused, assertive tone with strong projection and evolving harmonic depth.

With its 32" diameter, the Mars Gong offers a balanced combination of clarity and power, making it suitable for both intimate and expansive sound environments.

Traditionally associated with energy, action, and transformation, Mars carries symbolic ties to cycles of destruction and renewal. Its vibrant, driving presence can support practices that invite motivation, momentum, and focused intention.
