Magnificent Heavy Large 12 ” Antique Jambati Singing Bowl – F4 (355Hz) & B2 Harmonic

Jambati Singing Bowl. Note F4  (Heart Chakra)

Weight 3.7 kilos (8.15 Pounds).  Size 30.5 x 12 cm (12 x 4 ¾ inches)

This magnificent and seriously heavy 12-inch antique Jambati Singing Bowl has a middle F fundamental (355Hz) with a nice beat and subtle low second octave B undertone. Although the F4 (355Hz) is the fundamental note it will readily move towards F#4 (360Hz) with a little practice and change of striker.  The note is F4 when played around the rim with a suede ringer. 

This bowl has a substantial physical presence and something of the wow factor due to its 12-inch diameter and slightly lower than average profile making it appear even bigger than it is.  And weighing well over 8 pounds (3.7 kilos) it is by far the heaviest bowl I have come across at this size.  Its extra thick wall would have been a considerable challenge to forge.  There are circles at its centre, and decorative bands forming a collar around the outer rim.

This fabulous large antique Jambati Singing Bowl is believed to date from around 1800.  It has a bright golden bronze colour and is in excellent structural condition, clean and free of stains and blemishes. 

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