Meinl – 28″ Jupiter Gong F#2

Katia de Peyer $ 98.73
Description 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. It’s relaxing and atmospheric. Please note: This is a handcrafted instrument forged by heating the metal alloy to great temperatures, then hand hammering the surface to achieve a desired pitch and tone. Our handmade process makes each gong unique, with no two gongs having identical-looking surfaces. Variations in hand hammer patterns and coloration from the heating process will occur, and it’s a testament to our highly intricate work that results in exquisite sound. Tuning: 183.58 Hz / F#2, A4/a’ 440 Hz → 436.63 Hz Diameter: 28″ / 70cm Material: Nickel silver Features: – Handcrafted masterpiece – Made in Germany – Exact fine-tuning through hand-hammering – Printed logo and tuning info Includes: Cover and gloves   Listen to the Meinl – 28″ Jupiter Gong F#2

About the Author

About the Author

Katia de Peyer’s first book Dancing with MySelf, Sensuous Exercises for Body, Mind and Spirit (Nucleus Publications, 1991; La Source Press, 2026) introduced her method of inner-centering through movement, hailed by Diane von Furstenberg as a whole new attitude about exercising. Her second book Enjoy Your Healing Power (La Source Press, 2025) is an intuitive, helpful guide for developing our healing power.  A ballet dancer born in Paris who lived in Spain to further her studies in flamenco, Katia moved to New York in the late sixties to start a successful career as a personal trainer. There she met the virtuoso clarinettist Gervase de Peyer in 1976.  She and Gervase married in 1980 and lived for two decades in the US and then in the UK until Gervase’s death in 2017.  Katia continues her work as a writer and healer in London and New York.
