Large 12-Inch 20th Century Golden Jambati Singing Bowl – G/G#2 & D4

This impressive Jambati Singing Bowl is believed to date from the early 20th century and has a beautiful golden bronze colour and an honest simplicity of form without any decorative artwork.

It has an excellent low second octave G/G#2 (99-101Hz) fundamental that is usually accompanied by a middle D4 (300Hz) harmonic when struck with a padded mallet or played around the rim with a suede ringer.  The powerful struck note has a pronounced beat with massive sustain and would easily fill a large concert hall.  The rim note is an unaccompanied D4 (300Hz) with a wooden ringer.

This lovely singing bowl is quite heavy.  It has a sheered lip.  It is structurally sound, clean, and free of stains, and its hammered walls are sensually smooth to the touch both inside and out.

 A Tibetan silk brocade bowl cushion and 2 small ringers are included in the price.
