Heavy 10 ¾ ” Antique Jambati Singing Bowl – Rare Low & Lovely A2 (112Hz)

Antique Jambati Singing Bowl.  Notes A2 & E5 (Third Eye & Solar Plexus Chakras)

Weight 1.92 kilos (4 lb 3 ¾ oz).  Size 27 x 12 cm (10 ¾ x 4 ¾ inches)

This rare antique Jambati Singing Bowl dates from the 18^thcentury and is sold in its ‘as found’ or un-cleaned condition, with its grime and surface patina intact.  This could, of course, be removed…but that would take away much of its aged appearance in my opinion.

It has a particularly lovely and very rare second octave A fundamental (112Hz) with a good sustain when struck with a padded mallet or played around the rim with a suede ringer.   The rim note changes to a nice fifth octave E (650Hz) if played with a wooden ringer.  This bowl will also produce fountains if played with a little water inside.

Weighing 1.92 kilos this bowl is relatively heavy for its size, and in good structural condition apart from a tiny tear in the floor that has no impact on the sound quality.   However the price has been reduced to reflect this damage. There are no decorative features present, beyond a line defining the inner rim.  It has a brownish golden bronze colour, and the look and feel of great antiquity.

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