 '''Background:''' Meinl Sonic Energy's Planetary Tuned Gongs are handcrafted in Germany in the European gong-making tradition. Each gong is tuned to create the corresponding frequency using Hans Cousto's (The Cosmic Octave) calculations to match the frequencies of the sun, moon, and planets. The gong craftsmen manufacture these gongs to respond with exceptional sensitivity in all playing situations. The long hours spent handcrafting the metal gives them their intriguing tone.

 === Indian Premium Wind Gong ===
 '''Introduction:''' <br>
 '''Background:''' The Meinl Sonic Energy Indian Premium Wind Gong is made by hand in India using a special bronze alloy. These flat-shaped gongs are also known as Feng or Sun Gongs. Their flat design allows the vibration to spread wide and last long. The sound is low-pitched, but when playing the gong louder, it expands wonderfully with wave-like overtones. You'll notice the lovely hand-engraved mantra "Om mani padme hum" as soon as you look at the gong. It is the mantra of loving compassion known to lead you to enlightenment. This gong comes with a Meinl Sonic Energy Table Gong Stand. <font color=blue><sup>6</sup></font color=blue><br>

 '''Background:''' The Meinl Sonic Energy Giant Tam Tams are masterpieces of instrument making that are traditionally hand-crafted in Germany in the European gong-making tradition. The gong craftsmen manufacture these gongs to respond with exceptional sensitivity in all playing situations. Long hours spent handcrafting the metal gives them their unique tone: It's relaxing and atmospheric. The center of these gongs has many fine hammer blows and is slightly sunken into the surface. The surrounding surface is scraped outward in a star shape and marked by large distinctive hammer blows. These beautiful instruments satisfy the highest sonic demands of sound practitioners, sound meditation studios, or leading orchestras. The immense size and power of this instrument will leave any listener in awe and wonder. As matching Gong Mallets we recommend MTTB-40, MGB-L, and for example MGM-L-R, available in different colors.<font color=blue><sup>5</sup></font color=blue> <br>

 '''Background:''' The Eight Corners of Heaven Mirror Gong was developed in collaboration with the Gong Master “Don Conreaux”.
