Ananda 26"

Martin Blase is a master silversmith and third generation gong master. He works from his studio in Germany producing artistic one of a kind sound instruments with impeccable workmanship and tuning. As each object is hand forged and heated there are variations in colour which only adds to the uniqueness of each piece. The sound is not affected in any way.

Martin Blase is one of the few gong makers who have developed an expertise and love with titanium. Twice as hard as steel and twice as light it proves itself to be a challenging yet satisfying material to work with.  Titanium is unique in that its crystalline structure is similar to water.  As we are entering the Aquarian Age, as well as the fact that the human body is largely composed of water, it is no surprise that titanium gongs have a profound effect on the body and is rapidly becoming a material of choice for sacred sound practitioners.

Ananda is a beautiful, one of a kind work of beauty and power. It is a titanium sculpture of both sound and vision. The blue coloration is offset by the heat marks which create a unique heart shaped rainbow. This gong is named for Ananda, one of the ten disciples of the Buddha. Ananda was known to have the best memory and was the keeper of the teachings of Buddha. Ananda also means ‘bliss’ and each gong has a stylised heart in its centre.
