    Description

    Tibetan Singing Bowl Handmade in Nepal,
    Small Cup C+2 /G-2, Lovely way to
    Invite Meditation            #5
    Here is a lovely, hand forged, singing bowl from the Himalayas.  I purchased it from a small Nepalese shop in Pasadena.  C=2/G-2. (440 hz)   After playing awhile, it often settles to a C.
    This little bowl has lovely overtones and a fundamental which is beginning to emerge when the rim is played..  This bowl hasn't been worked with in a long time, and is beginning to "warm up" again.  The bowl has nice wear around the edges and base.  There are more hammer marks visible at the center of the base than appear in the photos.
    Bronze alloy
    About C+2/G-2
    Hand forged/hammered
    About 4.25 in. diameter
    About 2 in. tall
    weighs about 8.46 oz
    I made the sound recording to give you an idea of the various tones.  The sound recording was made with the internal microphone on my computer.  I apologize for the background noise and glitches.
    The singing bowl will be carefully packed, and will ship via USPS Package with tracking.  As I'm combining trips to the Post Office, there is a 3 day handling period.  I appreciate your patience.
    Returns are accepted.  The buyer must contact me within 14 days of the purchase.  The bowl must be returned in the same condition as when purchased.
    The buyer pays for return shipping with tracking.
    Please contact me if you have any questions and I'll do my best to answer them.
    Thank you for considering this lovely bowl.
    ************************************************
    Because singing bowls are wonderful, here are a few extra thoughts:
    I've always chosen singing bowls because of their special tones, and the combinations of overtones.    For me, he possible age, style, and origin are lovely, but secondary to the sound.  I think that each person has their own response to the sound qualities of each bowl, and that is what matters the most.
    Please follow your inner guidance and choose a bowl that You resonate with.   Notice how you respond to the sounds.  Calming or energizing?  Do dissonant tones feel like they break up old energy?
    It's fun and useful to experiment with different pujas, or sticks.  The diameter and hardness of the wood affects the tone.  An excellent bowl may not want to sing at all with the wrong sized stick.   (Hardwood dowels are fun to investigate)
    Also, as you work with a bowl, it will "wake up" as the molecules are excited as you play it..  The bowl may become more responsive over time.  (I have a beloved bowl that wouldn't sound its fundamental, or lowest note, for a few months.)  Please be patient and work gently with your bowls.  (It is possible to crack a metal bowl by applying too much force, ouch.)    Breathe with them as you work.   Gently invite the bowl to sound.
    Best Wishes on your singing bowl journey!
