Tone of Life

A NEW STANDARD IN SOUND

Tom has gone on to develop other gongs in conjunction with Johannes Heimrath and currently Tone of Life Gongs are made at the Klein Jasedow workshops. They are made from sheet nickel silver in the style of gongs made by Paiste though the metal is a little thicker than similar sized gongs from Paiste and Meinl. Tom and Johannes have effectively resurrected the old Past Sound Creation Gong range but with new and interesting takes on the original designs.

The Cosmo Gongs are analogous to symphonic gongs produced by other companies. They are available in 5 sizes from 30”/75cm to 60”/150cm. Tone of Life now offer Air Gongs, Water Gongs, Earth Gongs, Moon Gongs, Sun gongs and Fire Gongs of various sizes all with varying characteristics but representative of the elemental feel of the gongs. Also offered are Dance gongs which come with a convenient wooden handle on the suspension chord and a ‘Dream’ Gong.

 The gongs are all made from Nickel Silver but are generally thicker than other German made nickel silver gongs. For instance, the Water Gong is made from 2mm thick nickel silver.

Tom Soltron Czartoryski has been working with gongs since 2002. He worked with Don Conreaux during his first visits to Europe to set up gong training in Poland as well as establishing the third World Peace Bell garden in Krakow, Poland. Tom also worked with Don to develop gongs for use in Don’s workshops and Gongmaster Training.
