Antique Singing Bowl. Notes G3 and C#5 – Throat and Root Chakras
Weight 1.11 kilos (2 lb 7 oz). Size 21 x 9 cm (8 ¼ x 3 ½ inches)
This medium-size Antique Singing Bowl (circa 1850) has a rare and beautiful shape with its low profile, rounded bottom and gracefully curved wall. A pair of decorative incised lines encircles its neat and slightly flanged rim, and there are circles at its centre.
This bowl is incredibly responsive and sings instantly. The fundamental note is a third octave G (195/6Hz) when struck with a padded mallet or played around the rim with a suede ringer. The rim note changes to a C#5 (553/4Hz) if a wooden ringer is employed. Both notes are excellent and virtually perfect pitch.
It is in excellent structural condition, clean and virtually stain-free, with a lovely golden bronze colour. It has great aestetic appeal and is a delight to hold and play.
A Tibetan silk brocade bowl cushion, a padded striker, and ringer are included in the price.
