Interesting Small Flat-Bottomed Antique Singing Bowl – Bb3 becomes Eb5

Antique Singing Bowl.   Bb3-Eb5 (233-616Hz) Crown & Solar Plexus Chakras

Weight 0 lb12 ½ oz (356 grams).  13 x 5.5 cm (approx. 5 x 2 ¼ inches)

This interesting small flat-bottomed bowl has very fine walls and a third octave Bb (233Hz) fundamental when struck or played around the rim…but as the Bb3 builds it gradually transforms into an Eb5 (616Hz).  It is a responsive bowl which, despite its light weight, sits firmly on the palm for playing.

The structural condition of this bowl is excellent, and it is clean and blemish free, with a bright golden colour.  There is some suggestion of a small inscription on its outer wall. 

 A double-ended teak and suede ringer is included in the price.
