Superb Medium-Size 9 ½” Antique Ultabati Singing Bowl – Concert Pitch Bb2 & E4

Ultabati Singing Bowl.  Notes Bb2 & E4 .  Crown & Solar Plexus Chakras

Weight 1.09 kilos (2 lb 6 ¾ oz).  Size 24 x 11 cm (9 ½ x 4 ¼ inches)

This medium-size antique Ultabati Singing Bowl has lots of aesthetic appeal with its beautiful matt copper-verdigris outer surface and glowing golden interior.  Its fundamental note is a low concert pitch second octave Bb (117/8Hz) when struck with a padded mallet or played around the rim with a suede ringer.  The rim note changes to a good E4 (323/4Hz) if a wooden ringer is used.

This bowl is relatively light for its size, and therefore comfortable to hold and play for an extended period.  It has the distinctive Ultabati caldron-like form with a subtly scooped collar and an out-turned downward-sloping lip.  There are decorative circles at its centre.  It is structurally sound, clean and stain-free. 

A Tibetan silk brocade bowl cushion, a padded striker and a ringer are all included in the price.
