Paiste Gongs produce incredible harmonics. The basic gong tone, the fundamental note of a is brought more alive with its complex overtones that come after the initial strike upon it. It's like hitting a fine bottle of wine, but this one doesn't break!
People often ask how Paiste Gongs are different than Chinese Gongs. Well, one way is they are made of Nickel Silver. Nickel Silver is a metal alloy of copper with nickel and often, but not always, zinc. It is named for its silvery appearance, but contains no elemental silver unless plated.
Many alloys fall within the general term of "nickel silver". All contain copper and nickel, while some formulations may additionally include zinc, antimony, tin, lead or cadmium. A representative industrial formulation, Alloy No. 752, is 65% copper, 18% nickel, and 17% zinc. In metallurgical science, such alloys would be more properly termed nickel brass
