INFO-POOL

Knowledge for practical application

This is all about practice.

Here you will find clear instructions, examples and technical basics for all sound instruments in the shop:

Who Hans Cousto is, what lies behind the idea of the Cosmic Octave and how planetary frequencies are calculated technically.

What models are available, which materials are useful, how vibration is created and how to hold and strike tuning forks correctly.

Origin and manufacture, sound and vibration behaviour, tone measurement and specific playing techniques – for meditation, bodywork and sound spaces.

Relevant striking zones, suitable mallets, sensible playing techniques, as well as tips on care, storage and transport – so that the gong retains its full effect for a long time.

If you would like to know who is behind Planetware and why I value precisely calculated instruments, you will find details about my experience and working methods on the about me page.

The INFO POOL is constantly growing. The aim: You should be able to use your instruments confidently, purposefully and without mystification.
