Rare Tibetan Bell-Shaped Singing Bowl – Beautiful G3 Voice

Antique Bell-Shaped Tibetan Singing Bowl.  G Note (Throat Chakra)
Weight 2 lb 2 ¾ oz (985g).   19 x 9 cm (approx. 7 x 3 ½ inches)

This is a large bell-shaped Thadobati Singing Bowl of a type rarely seen these days (circa 18^th Century) with very thick, smooth, and slightly splayed walls and a sloping grooved lip.  Some of the decorative incised lines below the rim and the concentric circles in the centre have been worn down over the years, but this old bowl is otherwise in excellent and clean condition.  It feels smooth and sensual in the hand and is a pleasure to hold and play.

The fundamental note is a superb low 3^rd octave G when struck with a padded mallet or played around the rim with a suede ringer.  the rim note changes to a third octave F sharp if a wooden ringer is used.

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