Antique Jambati Singing Bowl.  B2 & F#4 (Crown & Heart Chakras)
Weight 2.21 kilos (4lb 13 ¾ oz).   Size 28 x 14.5 cm (approx. 11 x 5 ¾ inches)

 

This antique Jambati Singing Bowl has an excellent low second octave concert pitch B fundamental (124Hz) when struck with a padded mallet or played around the rim with a suede ringer, and a powerful F#4 (376Hz) harmonic when played with a wooden one.  This bowl has an unusually long sustain.

 

 

It’s quite heavy for its size and has been very nicely forged, with finely hammered walls, a triangulated lip, circles at its centre and a decorative band encircling the outer rim.

 

 

This antique bowl is structurally sound and basically clean, with an attractive golden bronze colour.

 

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

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

 

PS. 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.
