Rare Bell-Shaped Tibetan Singing Bowl – D Note
Rare Bell-Shaped Antique Himalayan Singing Bowl. D & G Notes (Sacral & Throat Chakras)
Weight 2 lb 2 ¼ oz (982g). 17.5 x 9 cm (approx. 6 ¾ x 3 ½ inches)
This is a large bell-shaped Thadobati Singing Bowl of a type rarely seen these days (circa 18th Century) with very thick slightly splayed walls and a sloping lip. It’s a heavy and plain bowl with a simplicity of form and a certain gravitas that is usually only found in older bowls. It has the patina, colour, and the look and feel of antiquity.
This old bowl has a beautiful voice too…a resonant middle D fundamental whether struck with a padded mallet or played around the rim with a suede ringer. The rim note changes to a fifth octave G if a wooden ringer is used. With a little water inside it also has some fountain abilities.
