Paiste's oldest version of the instrument, these 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 word "symphonic" is not meant in the sense of classical symphonic orchestra but its original sense: to unite harmonic sounds. 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.
