Versatile 11 ½ inch Antique Jambati Bowl – Concert Pitch Eb2 (77Hz) OM & Fountains

Antique Jambati Singing Bowl.   Notes: Eb2 & A4 (Solar Plexus & Third Eye Chakras)

Weight 4 lb 13 oz. (2.18 kilos).   Size 29.5 x 12 cm (11 ½ x 4 ¾ inches)

This large old Jambati Singing Bowl is supplied in its ‘as found’ condition with all its aged patina intact, although it could be cleaned up if desired.  Personally I like it as it is. 

It’s a large bowl with a slightly irregular sheered lip and a very fine wall, the latter making it light for its size.  It’s also a little shallower than usual.  

The fundamental note is a low concert pitch second octave Eb (77Hz) when struck with a padded mallet or played around the rim with a suede ringer. The rim note changes to a middle A (444Hz) if a wooden ringer is employed.  It has tons of vibrant energy and is capable of producing the OM sound, and fountains if played with a little water inside.

The structural condition of this bowl is very good.  There’s quite a lot of copper oxidization inside that is fairly commonplace on older bowls, and an aged patina to the inner and outer walls, both of which add character and I find attractive.

This versatile antique singing bowl has a lot of gravitas and presence, and the look and feel of antiquity. 

A Tibetan silk brocade cushion, a padded striker, and a suede ringer are all included in the price.
