Distinctive Medium 9 ½ ” Antique Jambati Singing Bowl – G#3 (206/7Hz)

Antique Jambati Singing Bowl. Note: G#3 (Throat Chakra)

Weight 1.63 kilos (3 lb 9 ½ oz). Size 24 x 10 cm (9 ½ x 4 inches)

This low profile antique Jambati Singing Bowl is fairly heavy for its size, with thick rounded walls, a sheered lip, and decorative circles at its centre.   Its dark mottled leopard-spot hammered exterior surface is a particularly attractive and distinctive feature. The same hammering technique has been used to good effect in the creation of a darker collar around the outer rim.

The fundamental note is a third octave G# (206/7Hz) when struck with a padded mallet or played around the rim with a suede ringer. The rim note changes to a very nice fifth octave Eb (610Hz) if a wooden ringer is employed.

The structural condition of this interesting antique Jambati bowl is very good.

A Tibetan silk brocade bowl cushion, padded mallet, and a ringer are all included in the price.
