Fabulous Large 12 ½ ” Antique Jambati Singing Bowl – Wonderful Concert Pitch F#3

Antique Jambati Singing Bowl.   Note: F#3 (Heart Chakra)

Weight 6 lb 7 ¾ oz. (2.94 kilos).   Size 31.5 x 14 cm (12 ½ x 5 ½ inches)

This exceptionally large and impressive antique Jambati Singing Bowl has a wonderful concert pitch third octave F# fundamental with a long pulsating sustain.  The note is the same whether struck with a padded mallet or played around the rim with a suede ringer.

Weighing in at nearly 3 kilos this is a very heavy bowl that is probably best played when placed on a cushion.  It has a particularly nice shape and its exceptionally wide triangulated lip is a real feature and among the largest I have come across.  The lip is lightly grooved and there are circles at the bowl’s centre, and incised lines forming a decorative band or collar encircling the outer rim.

This bowl is believed to date from the early 19^thcentury and is in fabulous condition for its age.  It is free of stains and blemishes, and has the patina of antiquity with some attractive copper oxidization inside.

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

An exceptionally rare large Jambati with a wonderful voice!
