Guest guest Posted April 13, 2009 Report Share Posted April 13, 2009 Sat Nam Guru Ravi, Keep invoking those pure tones! Giddy is good. REAL good! It sure beat pop tarts........ Thinking about a Neptune myself, before the prices go up on all Paiste gongs (prices subject to rise without further notice!) I received new Chao gong, hand-picked from a fresh recent shipment from China. Unbelievable tone! I've been 'tipping", "bribing" a guy in SF to look out for a really sweet one and it paid off very well. It's in perfect tune with my 28" Symphonic and they like and complement each other very well. Very interesting Gong Bath this past Saturday night. Before the event started I sorta asked if there were any epileptics in the group, and got no raised hands (you don't want to gong epileptics, or you, at least, have be very attentive). During the gonging I didn't feel particularly tuned in until some 15 minutes into it and then relaxed into the sound current. In closing I, by pure chance, finished at exactly 31 minutes. Great feedback in spite of me. Later on during tea and treats I heard of one person who must have had turrets syndrome because people around him could hear him saying "I need my pop tarts!, I need my pop tarts!". It could have been worse. Keep us posted on those roses. Blessings, Dharam Singh Millis, MA www.gongsongs.com gururavikaur wrote: Sat Nam All! Inspired by Dharamji's cool (((gong))) wisdom and his awesome gong stories I have began gonging my roses and other herbs that I grow for Busy Day Go! Ayurveda. The roses are almost ready for harvesting for the Rose Petal-Amalaki Eye Spray. I am anxiously awaiting trying the (((gonged)) roses. Dharamji picked out my latest gong-a Neptune Planet Gong- and it is the perfect size for carrying around my gardens, not what I had intended when first choosing it (or did it choose me?) Go and be Gonged! Giddy from all the (((gonging)), Guru Ravi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted April 15, 2009 Report Share Posted April 15, 2009 Sat Nam Ardas, Any Gong that you can comfortably carry with one hand and play with the other is a "portable gong". Guru Ravi Kaur bought a Paiste Neptune Gong through me ( I'm a Paiste Gong agent - www.gongsongs.com ) that is only 24" in diameter. very handleable. I know one big Italian fella, though, who just whips a 32" inch around his head like it's a New Years party toy. Many different gongs to check out. Here's a couple of examples of Gamelan gongs which can be a few inches across to 34".... It's just the pure sound that is to love. The Paiste gongs have the harmonics and overtones that just take your mind away. These other gongs can be great (impossible to buy correctly through an online catalog) and can be used along with the Paiste, but certainly don't replace the Paiste. You can go to http://www.instrumentalsavings.com/SearchResults.asp?Search=chao+gong & gclid=CNyLwr2D8pkCFctL5Qod72NIQg and maybe get a decent to great sounding gong for short money, but you may also find that some sound worse than a trash can lids. Ask me if I'm joking.... If you're wanting to get some gong other than a Paiste, it's best to find a place where you can at least it try out.
