Janne, let me help you a bit. If the sound clips haven't helped may the
longer ones at http://www.gongsongs.com/Gong_-_Samples.htm can be of
use. I have others that are much longer, but contact me off-list for
those. If after hearing them all, nothing impresses you than that may be
good. It my be saying quite simply that you want a Symphonic Gong from
Paiste. As Yogis that's all we really want to use, anyway. There is no
focused pitch or fundamental note with a Symphonic. The mind is always
trying to identify things, and with sounds it is trying to organize that
into a music. The Symphonic gongs defies that and blows the mind away.
That's what we want!
Get a 30" to 32" Symphonic gong, a Partial Circle Floor Stand (C shaped)
and an M3 mallet. I may be able to arrange this for you direct from
Paiste and at a very competitive price.
The quality of the sound of the gong will tell you something of the
vibration at the time the metal was produced and cooled, both on the
physical realm and beyond :o). Regardless, we have methods of *clearing*
a gong and playing it into it's most harmonic resonance. All things
clear at that point.

Many Blessings,

Living in Sweden/Europe a eauropean distributor will probably be most worthwhile due to shipping costs.
