Thadobati Singing & Talking Bowl – Great Looks, Wonderful Sound!

Antique Tibetan Thadobati Singing and Talking Bowl.  C & G Notes (Root & Throat Chakras)
Weight 2 lb  5 ¼ oz (1.06 kilos).   19 ½ x 9 ½ cm (approx. 7 ½ x 3 ¾ inches)

A good quality antique Tibetan Singing and Talking Bowl (18^th – 19^th century) with extra thick high-sided walls, a strong lip, and a wonderful sound.  It’s also very responsive and easy to play.  The fundamental note is a strong mid octave C whether struck with a padded mallet or played around the rim with a suede ringer.  The rim note changes to a fifth octave G if a wooden ringer is used.  This bowl also has a nice talking voice if struck or played with a little water inside.

This is a handsome Thadobati singing bowl – clean, free of stains and blemishes, with a lovely bright golden colour.  It has two fine punched dot bands forming a collar just below the outer rim, and several well-worn decorative circles on the inside floor.   A double-ended teak and suede ringer is included in the price.

Simply a lovely bowl with a beautiful voice!
