Our oldest version of the instrument, Symphonic Gongs have a slightly raised surface (without boss) with a harmonic and universal sound structure. The fundamental note of the gong is balanced with the instrument's complex overtones. The characterizing word “Symphonic” thereby should not be misinterpreted as describing the literal sense of classical symphonic orchestra application but its original sense to unite harmonic sounds. The describing word universal shall be understood as “sound in its entirety.” The sound of these gongs can be influenced and varied through the nature of the stroke, as well as the size, weight, and composition of the mallets. By varying the striking points, highs, lows, and various sound mixtures contained in the entirety of the gong's sound sphere may be extracted and played up.

What is the Paiste 30″ Symphonic Gong?
Paiste gongs run from symphonic instruments used in orchestral repertoire to the Planet and Sound Creation series used in sound therapy work. Each is hammered to a defined pitch behaviour rather than left to chance, which matters when a gong is being played to a score or used in a therapeutic setting where the fundamental is the point.
