Paiste Planetary Gong Sedna – 38"

Paiste P-PG82638 Planetary Gong – Sedna (C2 / 128.10 Hz) – 38"

Product Description

The Paiste Planetary Gong – Sedna (38") is a powerful, deeply resonant instrument tuned to the orbital frequency of the distant celestial body Sedna. Based on the groundbreaking research of The Cosmic Octave by Hans Cousto, this gong translates cosmic motion into an audible and immersive sonic experience.

Similar in construction to Paiste Symphonic Gongs, Planetary Gongs are uniquely tuned to a dominant fundamental frequency along with a clearly present harmonic overtone in the 4th octave. The Sedna Gong resonates at approximately 128.10 Hz (C), offering a grounded, expansive, and meditative sound field.

With its large 38" diameter, this gong produces deep, enveloping waves of vibration that fill the space with rich low frequencies and evolving overtones—ideal for sound journeys, meditation, and transformational work.

Named after the Inuit sea goddess, Sedna represents themes of depth, hidden emotion, and transformation. As one of the most distant known objects orbiting our sun, Sedna symbolically invites exploration into the unseen—bringing awareness to what lies beneath the surface.

When played with intention, the Sedna Gong can support practices focused on deep introspection, emotional release, and expanded awareness.
