Archetypal 19th Century Thadobati Singing Bowl – Perfect Pitch Bb3

This is the archetypal 19th century Thadabati Singing Bowl with its fairly straight high-sided wall, sheered lip and flat bottom.  Its proportions, wall thickness, size and weight are all typical of this popular bowl type.  There are circles at its centre, and a decorative band of suns (punched dots within circles) around the outer rim.  This feature is commonly found on older Thadobati Singing Bowls.

The fundamental note is a perfect pitch third octave Bb3 (234Hz) when struck with a padded mallet or played around the rim with a suede ringer.  The rim note changes to a fifth octave E5 (675Hz) with a wooden ringer.  

It is in good structural condition, basically clean, but with some light staining here and there as one might expect from a bowl this age. 

A classical and characterful antique Thadobati bowl with an attractive golden bronze colour!

A Tibetan silk brocade bowl cushion and a ringer are included in the price.
