Tibetan Singing Bowl Set – Easy To Play Authentic Handcrafted For Meditation Sound Chakra Yoga Healing 4 Inches By Himalayan Bazaar (Black & Orange)

Unexpectedly great!! (FULL detail review)
This review is by a professional, classically trained musician, and hopefully provides all the details you might need in order to make a decision.BASICS:- Bowl: Brown & Green- Base note: C (5th octave)- Overtone: F and C- Tuned to A = 432 Hz- Sustain: 30 seconds (approx)- Chakras: Root, Heart, OM/Earth Star- Pitch may vary between bowls (approx. C, C#, D)• In a Nutshell: This bowl has a relatively quiet but balanced sound with clear overtones. There’s something about the ring of the overtones that draws me in. Great for meditation. It sings easily and the rich sound surpassed my expectations, inspiring me to get more small Tibetan bowls! More details are below plus a video.**Please let me know if this review helps you!!**• PROS: It SINGS! Many small or cheap bowls have issues with this, so I was pleasantly surprised! Beautiful exterior and beautiful sound. For a teeny tiny bow (~ 3”), it has a rich sound with clear, well-tuned overtones. It’s a very pleasant sound in person, not shrill, piercing, or tinny sounding. This makes it a high pitched bowl that shouldn’t annoy anyone! 😉 It sustains around 30 seconds (quietly). I’m happy with the sound, appearance, weight and feel of the bowl in my hand. The mallet is well paired and functional for singing. Overall, this bowl far and away exceeded my expectations for the size and sale price. The video doesn’t do it justice.• CONS: See the review update and notes sections below for more detail and context. *Original: Though it sings, my bowl buzzes slightly on one part of the edge. The base note (C5) is a bit quiet, but balances with the overtones well. The packaging for shipment was…interesting, but didn’t result in damage.**UPDATE** I got a 2nd bowl just like this one and it’s slightly different, sings C#5-ish instead of C, has a slightly faded paint job, but no buzzing! It has a clear sound and I have no complaints. I listed cons mostly as a heads-up if you need something specific. I LOVE both bowls and was able to navigate around the C5 bowl’s buzzing issue by using a slightly larger and softer mallet.I included a 35 sec clip. Please let me know if this review is helpful!!• FYI NOTES:- Variation: There are small differences between each bowl, including pitch and appearance/detail, so set expectations accordingly. It will probably have a base note around C5 to D5 not with perfect tuning. Still worth it. My second bowl is C#.- Shipping: My bowl was shipped in a poly bag without bubble wrap. The bowl was wrapped nicely in brown paper with the pillow sitting inside. The whole thing was wrapped tightly in plastic wrap. This didn’t seem to harm anything.- Your technique will make the difference regarding sound and perceived quality.• TECHNIQUE NOTESR: How it sounds will absolutely be impacted by how you strike the bowl and where on the rim. Experiment with this. Think of it more as “inviting” the sound than whacking it. You shouldn’t be using a heavy hand or banging it like a massive gong. Maybe think of it more like tapping a triangle—just give it a brief “ding” with the mallet and you’re good. You will get the feel of this with practice. The contact between the mallet and bowl should be brief when striking, as the sooner contact ceases, the bowl can begin resonating. Longer contact can shorten that resonance or mute the sound a little. You can vary the speed or force you use to get a louder sound, but with brief contact regardless. I sometimes also think of it as “bouncing” the mallet off the bowl, like how a racquetball immediately bounces off the wall after contact. If you have issues getting the bowl to sing, keep trying and give it some time. These bowls can sing with the included mallets unless there’s an obvious defect. I hope this helps!! Enjoy!

Looks and Sounds Great! Rings at about 538-542hz!
Looks and sounds good as my 1st singing bowl. Wish the brass was polished a little more but something Im sure I can do myself. Quality seems good and is thicker than I thought it would be. Was thinking it would be thin brass for price but actually decently thick at about 1/12in thick and has some weight to it considering its inly a 4 inch singing bowl. Very easy to use as well. Rings at somewhere near 538hz, 540hz, or 542hz according to my hz generator. Definitly recommend for the price point!

LOVE IT
The bowl came in beautifully and created a really nice sound. I was nervous about it being to high but it has a very nice and long hum.

Piece of art
It’s a piece of art. And it sounds amazing.

Fake

I finally got a bowl that sings. I returned the other as it didn’t sing and was pleasanty surprised. The sound and the artistry are outstanding! Beautiful in every way!

Kam pünktlich an, Versand war etwas länger aber das stand auch so in den Angaben. Die Schale ist hübsch, ich habe ansich noch keine Erfahrung damit und will erstmal einsteigen in das Thema. Der Klang ist gut.
