Antique Singing Bowl. Notes: G#3 & D6 (Throat & Sacral Chakras)

Weight: 900 grams (1 lb 0 oz).  Size: 19.5 x 9 cm (7 ¾  x 3 ½ inches)

This is a lovely example of a superior quality 18th Century Lingam Singing Bowl.  It has a lower than normal gracefully rounded wall with decorative lines encircling the outer rim.   At its centre there is a lingam surrounded and defined by two sets of circles, and a neat matching navel or yoni underneath.

The fundamental note is a third octave G#3 (212Hz) when struck with a padded mallet or played around the rim with a suede ringer. The rim note changes to a high sixth octave D6 (1197Hz) with a wooden ringer.  It is very responsive and easy to play.

It is in excellent structural condition, clean, and has a wonderful aged patina with the look and feel of antiquity.

A Tibetan silk brocade bowl cushion and a double-ended teak and suede ringer are included in the price.

Listen: ( 3 struck notes and 2 played notes, suede ringer then wood).
