Description

Singing Bowl, Black, 5 3/4 inch. Black oxidized spun bronze, includes wooden beater. The bowls are made of Panchaloga: literally translated from Sanskrit as Five Metals. The metal alloys contain copper, tin, zinc, iron and other metals

Singing bowls are played by the friction of rubbing a wooden mallet around the rim of the bowl to produce overtones and a continuous 'singing' sound. They are commonly used for meditation, relaxation, healthcare, personal well-being and religious practice.

I am really enjoying this 5.75" singing bowl made by Mid-East. Quick & secure transaction from Nu-Lime with regular confirmation emails. The bowl itself has a great finish, a rough/unpolished wooded beater and velvet-like "O" base. The color is a very dark bronze approaching black depending on the light, and it is surprisingly heavy. It produces a complex range of harmonic notes with the root around 385 Hz (between a G and G-flat). A beautifully finished piece with an equally beautiful sound and playability. Highly recommended.
