Fabulous Large 11 ½” Antique Jambati Singing Bowl – Perfect Pitch G#2 (104Hz)

Antique Jambati Singing Bowl. Notes G#2 & E4 (Throat & Solar Plexus Chakras)

Weight 2.30 kilos (5lb 1 ¼ oz).   Size 29 x 13 cm (approx. 11 ½ x 5 inches)

This is an excellent large example of this antique bowl form with an exceptional voice…a pulsating low perfect pitch second octave G# fundamental (104Hz) when struck with a padded mallet or played around the rim with a suede ringer. The rim note changes to a middle E (322Hz) if played with a wooden ringer.  Both struck and played notes have a very long sustain.  This bowl will also make fountains if played with a little water inside.

It has been beautifully forged and has small hammer markings on its outer wall that catch the light. It has a triangulated lip and there are circles at its centre, and decorative bands encircling the outer rim.

This antique bowl is structurally sound, has a light golden colour and is free of stains and blemishes.  A Tibetan silk brocade bowl cushion, a padded mallet and a ringer are all included in the price.

Listen: (3 struck notes and 2 played notes, suede then wood ringer)

Note: This antique bowl is part of my original collection, and having visited Nepal 7 times in the last 18 months I cannot stress enough how hard it has become to source genuine antiques of this size and quality, with bowls over 11 inches (28cm) now almost impossible to find…perfect pitch specimens even more so!
