Sat Nam, Janne!
I've had the opportunity of trying a number of variations of Paiste gongs at a gong workshop I attended some time ago. Different sizes from about 22" to 34" and different types of gongs, symphonic and planetary gongs... also floor stands versus stand up stands. This helped me tremendously when it came to actually making the purchase. You may resonate with something different than me. But I chose a standard 32" symphonic gong with a C-style floor stand. To me, the main difference is the size of the gong, not so much whether it's a planetary, etc, etc. The larger the gong, the more deep, powerful and wonderful the sound. One thing to consider though is whether you will be carrying the gong to different places. A 32" is still mobile, a little heavy though... and I highly recommend a gong case.
Since I'm in the U.S., I ordered my gong from Gongs Unlimited.com. The owner, Andrew, was extremely knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. You can learn a lot just by going to the website... www.gongsunlimited.com
Andrew might be able to connect you with a distributor in Europe. Perhaps you can google Paiste Gong Distributors and find a distributor in Sweden.
Hope this helps! Much success to you!
Blessings,

Subject: [Kundalini Yoga] Difference in gongs
Sat nam,
I'm planning to end my classes with gong relaxation/healing. There is a variety of gongs I notice, Paiste has full range of symphonic and a astrology/planetary series.
I would love to hear what you think of the different kinds, tunings and sizes. What kind of differences in effects have you noticed for healing/relaxation? The sound clips and info texts I have found this far have not helped me to clarify which one I should go for.
Of course I would prefer the gong to have been produced in a peaceful environment, like by monks somewhere, but since this is not very easy to find I would also appreciate tips on place to buy gongs, perhaps with yoga teacher discount. Living in Sweden/Europe a eauropean distributor will probably be most worthwhile due to shipping costs.
Thanks
Janne
