20:03 So much to learn from this part of the interview. I have a 36" Earth gong that this man made. Every time that I watch and rewatch this interview I cherish being able to play his creation.
It gives me great pleasure to see and hear the voice of the man responsible for making my 42" Air Cosmo. Thank you so much Tom and Johannes! I used to just think gongs looked and sounded cool. They are so much more than that. When I opened the box, I was immediately in awe. The gong is stunningly beautiful! However it wasn't until I first struck it that the full realisation of what I had purchased dawned on me. The sound was of course mystical, magical and mysterious! But there was much more than just sound. The feeling was incredible! Like being enveloped in a mother's love in warm sunshine. Truly an enrichment of the entire human experience. As a percussionist with 30 years experience making and playing all kinds of fantastical instruments, I was deeply moved...and totally blissed out!
It is amazing to have masters among us, so young! We are so very lucky he pursued his passion! I have two of these, a 28" and a 36" and cannot go a day without them! they feed my soul, and now my family is getting some healing too 💙💚💛
“It is you that brings out the sound” generally speaking, that’s everything in life. Got our first new to me 24” Nr.4 Gong. It was meant. Thank you for this great interview/insight all together. Have a great rest of the year Sir.
What a wonderful person, thanks a lot, i love the way you feel live and how you are living it.. i just discovered the gongs ang starting to built them. I love your words at the end of this video, du sprichst mir durekt aus der seele. I m living outside of germany for 25 years but i really would like to visit you in your comunity. Thanks for this video . Have a nice day
Tom, thank you for this interview, having met you - I known of Abby and now Johannes the sound, the teaching Wow! Spiritually send you all blessings and a sincere Hug. 🙏🏼💫💫💫
Amazing, thanks for this peek into the whole process and energy. Been playing a Paiste Saturn for some time Now and just now have been opening up to some other unique instruments to strengthen the sonic explorations, looking forward to more Tone of Life soon :)
Thanks for the video and information! I am very happy with my Stardust gong, I wanted a smaller gong to take outside as my Paiste Sun Gong is too big to carry up and down the hill at 38inches. I checked out the Dream Gong too but there was something about the Stardust gong with it deep tone which clinched it. It is also very beautiful! Works well with the Sun gong too!
Earliest notification of the gongs during our last era is dated around 2000 years ago ( Bronze gongs) but Silver Nickel gongs are made just in last century. We talk about data and experience we have access to. Best
@@JoelOlive Maybe in your world yes but not in ours. Just trace the Bronze era development in the world. We dont know anything about in a Greek times. And if you have relible information, not a channeling or other subjective claims... I will to look for. Till then in Asia. Best
TheToneOfLife i think your comment is very disrespectful and out of tone, I am surprised, by the way, I never expected that from you. Did I missed something? If yes, excuse me.
@@JoelOlive I did not mean to disrespect anyone, Im sorry if I did. As many people in this world as many ideas and belife systems too, we shared here what we know from our years of investigation the origin and use of the gong in this cycle we live at the moment , if you claim : "This is the oldes known... so.., Europe, not e Asia. " Please provide data and we are willing to change our view on that point otherwise I will feel your comment was demeaning. All the best
TheToneOfLife I live in Canada and am a visual artist , I don’t have any experience with gongs , I am very confused as to what kind to buy and I didn’t realize you could hurt yourself if you don’t use them properly , or am I miss understanding ? Do singing bowls work the same way ?
@@Honeyman126 the sound of the gong does not hurt anyone, only personality of those who claims they are the gong masters that with time turn to gong monsters :) may hurt others but sound it self is pure...

So nice to read
A musical instrument that reflects ourself.
That was light years ahead of any other interview I have ever heard.
Tone of Life Interviewer thank you for creating this interview.
And thank you Johannes Heimrath for thoughtfully thinking of others.
My very first gong with Tone of Life Maitreya... The most wonderful manifestor of peace energy and gorgeous to boot.

Not what I expected ,but still good information. Thank you 🙏
Thank you Very Much!!!!!!
Wish i could visit your place one day. Really inspireing talk!
Lovely
Very interesting. Maybe one day our ways cross each other 😉🙏🏻
I wish i wasn't poor. My neighbors would hate me though so maybe its a good thing I dont have one. Couple puffs and i would be relaxing like no other
Are still giving workshops how to make your own gong?
beautyfull..but why they are so exspensiv..
What kind of material are they made of? What gauge thickness? Can they be made out of stainless steel?
Where can I get a copy of your book?
I made a Gong from A Wok👍
The first Gong i heard was on The Gong Show.
Music therapy existed thousands of years ago. This is just a mix of modern interpretation.
Music therapy existed always in human life. This video is personal story of our gongs experience. And we live now not thousand years ago :)
These gongs existed long before germany.

In the old Greek temple of Dodona they used gongs as oracles. This is the oldes known... so.., Europe, not e
Asia.

There appears to be a high incidence of gong makers falling ill and dying while mentally unstable.
Indeed Manfred, we have notice same thing but found some other source of it that is more in human nature :) Warm Regards
@@TheToneoflife Glad of that. Not sure a lead gong would sound that proper in any case.
