Large Golden 10 ¾” Antique Jambati Singing Bowl – Perfect Pitch G#2 (104Hz)

Antique Jambati Singing Bowl. Notes G#2 & D4 (Throat & Sacral Chakras)

Weight 2.28 kilos (5lb 0 ¼ oz).   Size 27 x 13.5 cm (approx. 10 ¾ x 5 ¼ inches)

This is a fine straight-sided antique Jambati Singing Bowl with an excellent low perfect pitch second octave G# fundamental (104Hz) when struck with a padded mallet or played around the rim with a suede ringer. Sometimes the rim note is accompanied by a beautiful middle D harmonic (297Hz). The rim note changes to the D4 harmonic if played with a wooden ringer. This bowl will also make fountains if played with a little water inside.

It has a plain cut lip, circles at the centre, and a single decorative band encircling the outer rim. There are attractive small hammer marks to the outer wall that reflect the light, and it has a lovely golden bronze colour. This antique bowl is structurally sound, clean and free of stains.

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

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.
