The word Paiste is pronounced "Pie-stee" and originates in the Estonian/Finland region. Paiste means "shine". Indeed, every Paiste gong does shine. Yet instead of shining light, it shines sound!

Paiste gongs contain a significant amount of Nickel-Silver. Their high quality choice of metals certainly helps to make each Paiste shine. The design, craftsmanship and use of fine metals help make them the highest caliber gongs.

Paiste's history spans over 100 years! They are an international Swiss-based company with roots in Russia and Estonia. Much of their gong manufacturing occurs in Germany and they distribute their gongs world wide.

Paiste has several gong models, including Planet, Sound Creation, Symphonic, Accent and Deco. Paiste's Planet and Symphonic gongs are the most preferred gongs for sound therapists. The Planet and Symphonic models are designed to be therapeutic sound tools. As therapeutic tools they help increase practitioners and listeners' sense of well being. They typically increase relaxation and rejuvenation in those who play or listen regularly.

Paiste gongs are a joy, and also, easy to play. Bouncing the mallet off the gong face as well as glancing the mallet off the face in different locations will produce an endless combination of beautiful, pleasing vibrations which are both therapeutic and musical. No wonder they are the gongs of choice for sound therapists, yoga teachers and meditation practitioners.
