Beneficial Sound uses tuned Planet Gongs for all our Gong Meditations. These precision sound healing instruments are lovingly handcrafted in Germany by world-renowned manufacturers Paiste and Meinl. They have been producing Gongs of the highest quality for generations, and have turned gong-making into an art form.

In what has become known as the “music of the spheres”, each Planet Gong has a unique tonal quality based on the natural harmonic frequencies of the Earth, Moon, Sun, and Planets. These frequencies are based on the calculations by Hans Cousto, Swiss mathematician, musicologist and author of The Cosmic Octave. 

Planet Gongs hold deep fundamental tones and are steeped in rich overtones, creating a mysterious sound, resonating in harmony and evoking the healing energies of the planetary bodies in our solar system.

Lessons, Purchases and showroom

Schedule a Gong Showroom Consultation where you’ll have the chance to play and get to know different Planet Gongs. The consultation/showing is held in the Beneficial Sound Sanctuary and will not include every Paiste or Meinl Planet Gong, but will include a cross section of Gongs to help you determine which Gong is right for you. The cost of the 1-hour Showroom Consultation can be applied toward a purchase of your Gong through Beneficial Sound.

Additionally, with your Gong purchase, you’ll have the ability to purchase a private Level I Gong Lesson at a discount. The Level I Gong Lesson covers everything you’ll need to know to enjoy a lifetime of fun with your new Gong, including:

The philosophy of Gong playing
Connecting to the Gong
Healing qualities of the Gong
Playing positions and holding the mallet
Strike techniques, playing areas and controlling volume
