This is a unique 3rd octave set of 8 large antique Lingam Singing and Healing Bowls.  Antique Lingam bowls have distinctive physical and sonic qualities, and are used in healing and sacred rituals and ceremonies.  They are so rare that most singing bowl collectors and practitioners will never have encountered or handled a single bowl, and even top international bowl dealers seldom have more than one or two for sale, if any, so one can only imagine how special and unique this set of 8 large bowls is. 

 

 

This set has been gradually assembled by myself from rare Lingams collected in the Himalayas over 30 years, with each bowl painstakingly matched by pitch, octave, size, shape and condition.  They have been tuned to the fundamental note when hand-held and struck with a padded mallet.  In most cases the played rim note is the same.  All the bowls have a similar Thadobati form with the distinctive central lingam and navel/yoni underneath, and date from the 18th and 19th Century.

  

Bowl 1. E3 note (167Hz), 7 inches, 784 grams.

Bowl 2. F3 note (172Hz), 7 ¼ inches, 916 grams.

Bowl 3. F#3 note (182Hz), 7 inches, 867 grams.

Bowl 4. G3 note (193Hz), 6 ¾ inches, 849 grams.

Bowl 5. G#3 note (204Hz), 7 inches, 884 grams.

Bowl 6. A3 note (218Hz), 6 ¾ inches, 784 grams.

Bowl 7. Bb3 note (230Hz), 6 ¾ inches, 681 grams.

Bowl 8. B3 note (251Hz), 7 inches, 898 grams, inscription

 

All the bowls are in excellent structural condition and basically unblemished, but with some being cleaner or having a more aged patina than others.   Each bowl is supplied with a cushion and ringer.  These bowls have slightly smaller diameters than those in the 10 bowl Lingam set currently on offer.   Some other 3rd octave Lingams may occasionally be available to purchase individually on this website if you wish to add to the set.

 

This is an once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to acquire a fabulous 3rd octave set of 8 rare large antique Lingams Singing Bowls.
