Superb Large 11 ” Antique Jambati Singing Bowl – E2 (84Hz) With OM & Inscription

Antique Jambati Singing Bowl.   Notes: E2 & Bb3 (Solar Plexus & Crown)

Weight 4 lb 10 oz. (2.10 kilos).   Size 28 x 12 cm (11 x 4 ¾ inches)

This superb large antique Jambati Singing Bowl has an excellent and distinctive voice…a low second octave E fundamental (84Hz) that is close to concert pitch when struck with a padded mallet or played around the rim with a suede ringer. The rim note will readily progress from E2 to Bb3 (239Hz) if desired.  

This 19^thcentury bowl has a sheered lip and relatively thin walls that create sufficient vibrant energy to produce the OM sound, and also fountains if played with a little water inside.  Its decorative features have been worn away with the passage of time, but it benefits from an inscription around the outer rim; a sure sign of the high esteem in which a former keeper held this bowl. 

It is structurally sound, clean and stain-free, and has an attractive bright golden bronze colour.

A padded striker and a suede ringer are included in the price.
