Sound characteristics of the handmade singing bowls from India

This kind of singing bowl has a lively sound that is rich in overtones and that is produced by the special kind of alloy made of different metals and by the thick walls of the singing bowl. This is the most frequently obtainable kind of singing bowl on the market. You must, however, make a clear distinction between the instruments from different workshops. Depending on the art of the craftsman (processing of the metal, thickness of the walls etc.) and on the traditional formulas regarding the metal alloys there are low-quality and high-quality products on the market. Inspite of our reasonable price we can offer you the best selected quality of Indian singing bowls.

The enormously rich sound range is produced by soft or strong striking with a hard or soft stick or by rubbing with a stick. Depending on the skill of the player in using the singing bowl or in playing bowls of different sizes together, fascinating sound effects can be produced .These effects are supported by the fact that the sound of the singing bowls is sustained and echos for a long time.

General information about handmade singing bowls

Please order this kind of singing bowl according to weight or diameter of the singing bowl. Alternatively, tell us the amount you are prepared to spend and we make you an offer. The relation of weight and diameter is not standardized. You cannot order these singing bowls with a special tuning. Small singing bowls have a high-pitched tuning and large singing bowls a low-pitched tuning. Every possible tuning in-between is possible. Below we give you examples so that you get an idea of the ratio of price, weight and diameter of the singing bowls.

Special tunings

Due to the fact that these singing bowls are hammered by hand and due to the sound that is rich in overtones, it is extremely difficult to offer even roughly exact tunings. However we are happy to compile a set of any number of singing bowls you wish which do not produce any dissonant sounds within the set and sound harmoniously together. There will be an exra charge for the work we have.

The singing bowls are supplied without stick and pad. Please select suitable accessories from our accessory page. Different sticks (soft, hard etc.) lead to different sound results.

As most of the clients ask for the size of the singing bowls we no longer offer the bowls with a price/100 gramms. Underneath there is a list showing the size categries which we offer. In-between sizes are available as before. If you wish a set of any number of singing bowls which do not produce any dissonant sounds within the set and sound harmoniously together please ask us and we send you an offer. There will be an exra charge for the work we have.
