Paiste Accent Gongs

Description: The 22, 26 and 28" have a similar to Paiste Symphonic Gongs in that it has a wide range of pitches from a deep bass to higher, harmonizing pitches & overtones, rich dynamics & a long sustain. Like Symphonic Gongs, the sound structure of the 22, 26 and 28" Accent gongs is a little more spread out than the Paiste Planet Gongs but the Accents are more focused than Paiste Sound Creation Earth Gongs. The deep bass & rich sound structure of the 22, 26 and 28" Accent Gongs make them effective for sound baths on their own and are also wonderful in sets and as accents to other gongs of similar or larger sizes.

The 13" Accent Gong is like a smaller or mini version of the 22, 26 and 28" Accent gongs in that it has a long sustain and produces a wide range of tones from bass to higher pitches. The fundamental frequency of the 13" is higher pitched than the 22, 26 and 28" Accent Gongs yet the bass of the 13" Accent is still warm and it has a good sustain.

The 7 and 10" Accent Gongs are higher pitched and more bell-like than all the larger size Accent Gongs. The 10" has a little more variation to it's sounds and effects than the 7". The 7" has the most focused, high-pitched sound and is the most bell-like of all the Accent gongs. The focused, high pitch of the 7" is similar to a sound plate. The tones/pitches of the 7 and 10" sustain and sing but they don't have rich bass like the larger sizes. The 7 and 10" help to focus the mind and the higher pitches lets them sing above and Accent the lower pitched larger gongs.

A combination of smaller and larger Accent gongs produce a synergistic effect because of the harmonics, dynamics and wide range of the high and low pitches.
