Paiste Synodic Moon Gong 24" - G#2

It's the cycle everyone knows — the one that governs the tides, the calendars, the biological rhythms of millions of living beings. The synodic month measures the time between two consecutive new moons: 29 days, 12 hours and 44 minutes. It's the visible face of the Moon, the one that changes shape every night in the sky. Hans Cousto translated this cycle into frequency: 105.21 Hz, note G#2. Not silvery like the Sidereal Moon — warmer, rounder, more connected to the Earth. The Moon we see, turned into sound.

Synodic Moon — the cycle of the phases

The synodic month is the lunar cycle everyone knows: the time between two new moons, 29 days, 12 hours and 44 minutes. It's the cycle of the visible phases — new moon, first quarter, full moon, last quarter. It governs the tides, agricultural and traditional calendars, the rhythms of living beings. Hans Cousto calculated its frequency: 105.21 Hz — note G#2. A warm, round, enveloping sound — the moon as it is, visible and present.

• ✦ Frequency 105.21 Hz — note G#2, calculated by Hans Cousto from the cycle of the lunar phases
• ✦ 29.53 days — from new moon to new moon, humanity's most familiar and lived cycle
• ✦ Warm, enveloping timbre — a soft, round G#, more earthly and familiar than the Sidereal Moon
• ✦ 24" diameter — compact and versatile, ideal for both individual sessions and small groups
