Versatile Concert Pitch Singing, Talking & Fountain Bowl
17th – 18th Century Tibetan Singing & Fountain Bowl. C & F Notes (Root & Heart Chakras)
Weight 2 lb 3 oz (995g). 18.5 x 9 cm (approx. 7 ¼ x 3 ¾ inches)
This is a fabulous old singing bowl and a personal favourite. Part of the appeal is that it just looks so old and not at all like most of the other singing bowls. I particularly like its thick steep high-sided walls that flare out at the top, and the unusual outward-sloping angle of its grooved lip. This is a superbly crafted singing bowl that has bags of character and the look and feel of great antiquity. It’s in excellent condition too…with barely a mark or blemish to show its age. And it has a lovely antique golden colour. The interior is particularly nice…a rich yellowy gold that glows brightly from years and years of hand cleaning and polishing.
This is an extremely versatile old Thadobati bowl with a truly beautiful virtually concert pitch fundamental…a mid octave C whether struck with a padded mallet or played around the rim with a suede ringer, and a fifth octave F sharp if a wooden one is used. Furthermore, with a little water inside, this bowl will simultaneously talk and fountain when played around the rim…quite extraordinary! A double-ended teak and suede ringer is included in the price.
