Handmade Planetary Gongs for Sound Healing & Meditation
Our planetary gongs, also known as planet gongs, are handcrafted in Germany from nickel silver. Each gong is tuned to the frequency of a planet, moon, dwarf planet or asteroid, and each one has its own character and tone.
Tuned to the Cosmic Octave
The tuning follows the Cosmic Octave by Hans Cousto: the orbital period of each celestial body is converted into a frequency and transposed by octaves into the audible range. The gong is then tuned to exactly that pitch.
Whether you are a sound healing practitioner, meditation teacher or musician, you will find the right planetary gong for your practice in three sizes. We ship worldwide.
Frequently Asked Questions About Planetary Gongs
01. What is a planetary gong?
+
A planetary gong is tuned to the frequency of a planet, moon, dwarf planet or asteroid, calculated from its orbital period using the Cosmic Octave by Hans Cousto. Auris planetary gongs are handcrafted in Germany from high-grade nickel silver.
02. What is the difference between symphonic and planetary gongs?
+
Symphonic gongs have a non-calculable fundamental tone with a balanced frequency spectrum. In contrast, planetary gongs are precisely tuned to the calculated orbital frequencies of celestial bodies in our solar system, such as the Sun, Earth, Moon, and planets. Each planetary tuned gong creates a targeted vibrational frequency used in sound healing and acoustic therapy.
03. How are Auris planetary gongs crafted?
+
Every Auris planetary gong is handcrafted in Germany from high-grade nickel silver. Our gong makers hammer each instrument by hand to reach its target frequency and the rich, long-lasting overtones needed for sound baths and sound meditation.
04. How do I choose the right planetary gong for my sound healing practice?
+
It depends on the frequency and character you want for your sessions. Earth gongs are traditionally associated with grounding, Sun gongs with vitality and Moon gongs with calm and balance. Our planetary gongs come in different sizes (60, 80 and 90 cm), depending on the gong. Check each gong’s page for its size.
05. Can planetary gongs be used for sound baths outdoors?
+
Yes, our planetary gongs are durable and resonate beautifully outdoors. We recommend protecting them from extreme weather and humidity to preserve their handmade finish and precise tuning.
06. Do you ship worldwide?
+
Yes, we ship worldwide. Contact us for shipping costs and for retail or wholesale enquiries.
