Large 19th Century 11 ¼” Jambati Singing Bowl – 2 Wonderful Voices & OM

Antique Jambati Singing Bowl. Notes: F#2 & C#4 (Heart & Root Chakras)

Weight 2.23 kilos (4 lb 14 oz).  Size 28.5 x 14.5 cm (11 ¼ x 5 ¾ inches)

This superior quality 19^th century Jambati Singing Bowl has a lovely low 2^nd octave F#2 (91Hz) fundamental that is close to perfect pitch when struck with a padded mallet or played around the rim with a ringer.  When played with a suede ringer the rim note is a wonderful, powerful, and pulsating C#4 (273Hz) accompanied by the 2^nd octave F#2 droning in the background.  This bowl is also capable of producing the vibrant OM sound.

This antique singing bowl has a finely beaten and unusually high-sided wall, with a plain sheered rim, and a gently rounded bottom.   It’s a heavy bowl at 2 ¼ kilos but light for its size and seems comfortable to hold and play.

It is in good structural condition, clean and stain-free but with some slight surface pitting inside commensurate with its age.  It is sensually smooth to the touch, attractive, and a pleasure to play. 

A Tibetan silk brocade bowl cushion and a double-ended teak and suede ringer are included in the price.
