Play Video 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!

The Tibetan Singing Bowl Set in bronze is a stunning addition to any mindfulness practice. Its rich, resonant tones create a calming atmosphere, perfect for meditation or relaxation. The craftsmanship is exceptional, making it not only a functional instrument but also a beautiful piece of art. Each bowl produces a unique sound that resonates deeply, promoting healing and tranquility. This set is a must-have for anyone seeking to enhance their spiritual journey. Highly recommended!

This singing bowl is absolutely perfect The 10cm size is just right not too big or too small even my daughter can play it with ease. The craftsmanship is incredible, when placed in the palm and gently struck it produces a rich tone.

This is a lovely bowl that was well packaged & in perfect condition as far as I could tell. I will say that the bowl appeared to be unlevel when I placed it on the pillow which also was less than impressive as the bowl wobbled when played if it even played on the pillow. The striker was very nice. At first it was hard to get the little bowl to sing & keep the sound going. It took a lot of work to play the bowl, but it had a pleasant sound when it hummed. I placed the bowl on bubble wrap packaging & then gave it a good whack to get the bowl to start humming. I just had to learn the particular circular motion required for play. This bowl is quite finnicky. I have a singing bowl that I purchased from Silent Mind at the same time which sings effortlessly & can start off by a gentle circular motion. Neither rests well on the pillows provided. I have ordered some little mats so I am hoping that I can get in the groove that way. I watched a video on YouTube that explained that some bowls were just harder to play & that you would have to play around with it & get to know your bowl. Both bowls sound similar; however, I might prefer the sound of this one. This bowl is just not quite as relaxing to play due to ease of play. I night purchase a larger bowl from this company.

I like this bell. It's large enough to give a good sound, but not big and flashy! So this helps as I try to walk the middle path.

The craftsmanship of this singing bowl is exquisite. Its deep, resonant sound creates a calming atmosphere. I have already added this bowl to my Yoga class

It is gorgeous and rather beautifully crafted : - Beautiful singing tone. Will buy again. Highly recommended.

I have a bowl that cost half as much and sounds much better than this bow.. Yes, it is attractive, but the tone fades quickly when you strike it, and it doesn't sing as easily as the less expensive bowl. I can't recommend it.

Amé mi cuenco, es hermoso, tiene un sonido nítido y es facil de obtener el sonido, además viene con el cojín de apoyo, precioso también.

I GOT THIS TIBETAN SINGING BOWL AS A GIFT AND JUST HAD TO TRY IT OUT FIRST. IT IS MESMERIZINGAS IT HAS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL GENTLE REVERBERATING TONE , VERY SOOTHING AND LOVELY. THE LITTLE PILLOW THAT COMES WITH IT FITS VERY WELL IN YOUR HAND TO CRADLE THE BOWL AS WELL. THE BOWL I GOT WAS EXQUISITELY DECORATED WITH THE 'OM' SYMBOL AT THE BOTTOM OF THE BOWL AS WELL AS AROUND THE OUTSIDE. IT'S A VERY STRIKING PIECE OF ART ! LISA

No cumple con el tamaño. Es muy pequeño

Beautiful sound, and good quality

Le tibetain est juste exceptionnel, au début c'est vrai que j'ai pensé qu'il ne chantait pas. Ensuite j'ai regardé plusieurs vidéos qui explique et donne des astuces pour bien magné le tibetain. Maintenant je suis une pro du tibetain 😅 Merci aux vendeurs (se) tout comme la description..
