Meinl Sonic Energy 24 inch Planetary Tuned Gong – Sidereal Moon

DescriptionThe Meinl Sonic Energy 24 inch Planetary Tuned Gong – Sidereal Moon serves as a deeply atmospheric sound therapy instrument for reflective and meditative work. Tuned to 227.43 Hz (A#2 – A4/a’) according to Hans Cousto’s Cosmic Octave, it connects directly with the Sidereal Moon frequency. Therefore, its voice naturally supports slow, inward-focused sessions, inviting calm, emotional softening, and spacious listening. Moreover, the sound remains soothing and mysterious, making it well suited to breathwork, relaxation, and long-form sound baths.Materials and Build QualityMeinl crafts this gong in Germany, following the European gong-making tradition. Artisans work with nickel silver, heating and shaping the alloy before moving into extensive hand-hammering. This process allows them to achieve exact fine tuning to the Sidereal Moon frequency while also shaping a rich, complex overtone structure. In addition, the handwork gives each instrument its own nuanced character and visual personality. The surface features a printed logo and tuning information, so practitioners can easily identify the frequency in their setup. At 24″ / 60.96 cm and approximately 4000 g / 141.10 oz, the gong offers a substantial sound field without becoming unwieldy. Furthermore, the set includes a protective cover and MEINL gloves, which supports safe handling and tidy storage between sessions.Performance and Use CaseThe Sidereal Moon Gong responds with atmospheric and soothing tone, developed through countless hours of handworking the metal. A gentle strike produces soft waves of resonance that can slow the breath and quiet mental activity. Moreover, as you build intensity, the sound expands into a broad, enveloping field that remains musical rather than harsh. Therefore, the gong works beautifully in meditation circles, individual sound therapy, restorative yoga, and contemplative rituals. Its sensitivity also allows very subtle playing, so practitioners can shape transitions and shifts in energy without using words. In group settings, the sustained resonance helps guide listeners into deeper states of relaxation and inner awareness.Key Features24″ / 60.96 cm Planetary Tuned Gong – Sidereal MoonTuning: 227.43 Hz / A#2 – A4/a’ based on Hans Cousto’s Cosmic OctaveHandcrafted masterpiece made in GermanyMaterial: nickel silver for rich, complex resonanceExact fine tuning achieved through detailed hand-hammeringSound character: mysterious, atmospheric, and soothingPrinted logo and tuning info on the gong surfaceApproximate weight: 4000 gIncludes cover and MEINL gloves for protection and safe handlingMore InformationCombine the Sidereal Moon Gong with other planetary-tuned instruments in our Sound Therapy & Wellness collection to create layered, frequency-based sessions.
