Lightweight Antique Jambati Singing & Fountain Bowl – Low Bb2 & Perfect Pitch F4

This medium-size Antique Jambati Singing Bowl has a very fine wall that makes it unusually light for its size and therefore comfortable for hand-held playing for an extended period.  Fine walls increase a bowl’s vibrant energy which, in turn, results in lower octave notes such as this bowl’s Bb2.

This bowl has a slightly conical shape when viewed from the side.  It has an inward facing lip and a flat bottom.  A decorative line encircles the outer rim, with another halfway down the wall.  The circles that were probably once at its center have been worn away from long use, but there remains a hint of the ritual or magical marks that encircled the upper half of its wall.

The fundamental struck note is a nice low second octave Bb2 (114Hz) with a good sustain when struck with a padded mallet or played around the rim with a suede ringer.  The rim note changes to a perfect pitch middle octave F4 (350Hz) when played with a wooden ringer.  It is capable of producing vibrant fountains of energized water if played with a little water inside.

This antique Jambati is in good structural condition, free of stains and blemishes, but with aged surface copper oxidization inside.

A complementary Tibetan silk brocade bowl cushion, padded striker, a teak and suede ringers are all included.
