I had a truly wonderful experience at Beneficial Sound with Wayne Marto. From the moment I arrived, Wayne was warm, welcoming, and attentive, creating a comfortable environment to explore the art of gong playing. The sanctuary itself is a beautiful and inspiring space, filled with numerous gongs that provided me with the opportunity to experience different sizes, tones, and styles firsthand.
