Unusual Antique Singing Bowl – B3 & Powerful F#5 – Inscribed

Antique Singing Bowl.  Notes B3 & F#5 (Crown & Heart Chakras)
Weight 703 grams (1lb 8 ¾ oz).   Size 20 x 7.5 cm (approx. 7 ¾ x 3 inches)

This antique singing bowl has a very unusual form with its low gracefully curved wall and flange lip.   There are circles at its centre and decorative bands below the rim and around the belly; the latter now faint. And there is also a faint inscription, a sure sign that a former owner held this bowl in high esteem.

It has a third octave B fundamental (245-250Hz) that is close to concert pitch when struck with a padded mallet or played around the rim with a suede ringer. The rim note changes to a powerful fifth octave F# (730Hz) with a wooden ringer.

This lovely antique bowl is in excellent structural condition and has a nice golden bronze colour.

A Tibetan silk brocade bowl cushion and a ringer are included in the price.
