Superior 8 ¾ inch Antique Lingam Singing Bowl – Concert Pitch G#

Antique Lingam Singing Bowl.   G#3 (Throat Chakra)
Weight 3 lb 1 ¾ oz. (1.4 kilos).   22.5 x 9.5 cm (approx. 8 ¾ x 3 ¾ inches)

This is a large and rare superior quality antique Lingam Singing Bowl (circa 18^th century) with a superb third octave G# voice that is virtually perfect concert pitch.  The note is the same whether struck with a padded mallet or played around the rim with a suede ringer.   It has an extremely long sustain, and is responsive and easy to play.

The condition of this bowl is very good, with barely a mark or blemish inside or out.  It has a slightly low profile and a smooth and gently curved wall.  It has a level grooved lip and a simple incised band below the outer rim.

A particular feature of this bowl is its large prominent central lingam surrounded by a pair of boldly incised concentric circles.  On the bottom, directly below the lingam, there is a superb deep navel.

A fabulous old bowl with a stunning concert pitch voice!

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