Unusual Antique Singing & Talking Bowl – Concert Pitch B3
SOLD
Unusual Antique Singing Bowl – B3 (Crown Chakra)
Weight 456g (1 lb 0 oz) 6 ½ x 3 ¾ inches (16.5 x 9.5 cm)
This is a very unusual globular-shaped antique singing bowl with a simple splayed lip. Its form gives rise to a very particular quality of sound, especially when struck with a padded mallet.
It’s very responsive bowl that can be played around the rim in the normal way with a suede ringer, when it will produce a mid octave B3 that’s close to concert pitch…but it comes into its own when struck! A heavy strike with a padded mallet or drumstick results in a resounding and virtually perfect Concert Pitch B3. If played around the rim with a wodden ringer the note becomes a fifth octave F#.
This bowl has an excellent talking voice if struck and rocked with a little water inside.
A fascinating and unusual singing and talking bowl in excellent condition! We have a very similar bowl with a Concert Pitch C#4.
A padded striker, and a teak and suede ringer are all included in the price.
