Small 8 ½ ” Antique Jambati Singing Bowl – F3 & C5

Antique Jambati Singing Bowl.   Notes: F3 & C5 (Heart & Root Chakras)

Weight 2 lb 3 ½ oz. (1.01 kilos).   Size 21.5 x 10 cm (8 ½  x 4 inches)

This is a small and very nice quality antique Jambati Singing Bowl with finely hammered walls, a plain triangulated lip, circles at its centre, and decorative bands encircling the outer rim…all typical characteristics of this lovely bowl form. 

Its good looks are matched by a wonderful voice…a third octave F (173Hz) when struck with a padded mallet or played around the rim with a suede ringer.  The F3 rim note will sing beautifully with a C5 harmonic (530Hz) using a suede ringer if desired.  The harmonic will sing alone if a wooden ringer is used.

The structural condition of this 19^thcentury bowls is good for its age, and it is clean and largely free of stains and blemishes.

A Tibetan silk brocade bowl cushion, padded striker, and a double-ended teak and suede ringer are all included in the price.
