Beautiful Golden 10 ½ ” Antique Jambati Singing Bowl – F#2/G2 with OM & Fountains

Antique Jambati Singing Bowl.   Notes: F#2/G2 (Heart & Throat Chakras)

Weight 3 lb 9 ¾ oz. (1.64 kilos).   Size 27 x 12.5 cm (10 ½ x 5 inches)

This is one of the most beautiful antique bowls in my entire collection, with everything one would wish for in a large Singing Bowl.  It has been superbly crafted and has the most wonderful rich yellow-gold bronze colour with lots of presence and surface interest. 

Dating from the 18^thcentury its walls have been worn sensually smooth with use over the years, and the circles at its centre are now quite faint. It has a sheered lip, and there are interesting ritual gashes at intervals around the outer rim…something I have never seen on a Jambati bowl.  It has bags of character and is structurally sound despite signs of age including some pitting and copper oxidization inside.

Its physical beauty is matched by versatility and a glorious voice.  The fundamental note falls exactly midway between a low second octave F# and G2 (95-96Hz) when struck with a padded mallet or played around the rim with a suede ringer, and it has a middle C# harmonic (285Hz).   The vibrant energy of this bowl makes it capable of producing the OM sound, and fountains if played with a little water inside.

Simply fabulous!

A padded striker, and a double-ended teak and suede ringer are included in the price.
