Tibetan Singing Bowl Set – Bronze Master Grade with Pure Tone & Thangka Art – Handmade in Nepal by Himalayan Bazaar (Gold & Yellow)

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!

Really love my singing bowl. I use this for meditation, or clearing the air from negativity. Really nice craftsmanship. The tone is nice and as loud as you make it. Very relaxing. The small size makes the bowl very portable.

I’m really happy with this singing bowl. The sound is clear, warm, and long-lasting. It creates a very calming atmosphere and is perfect for meditation or just relaxing after a long day.The bowl itself feels solid and well made. The finish looks nice and the overall quality is better than I expected. It has a good weight to it and doesn’t feel cheap at all.Very satisfied with this purchase.

his Tibetan singing bowl is absolutely delightful. The sound is rich, calming, and resonates beautifully—perfect for meditation or simply creating a peaceful atmosphere at home. The size is just right: easy to handle, yet substantial enough to produce a deep, soothing tone.The design is gorgeous, with intricate details that make it feel special and authentic. It even comes with a cute little pillow that adds charm while keeping the bowl stable. Every element feels thoughtfully crafted, and together they make the whole experience both visually pleasing and spiritually uplifting.Highly recommend for anyone looking to add a touch of serenity and beauty to their space.

The bowl has good sound for its size and is made well. I didn’t expect it to be as small as it is, but it’s still good more as a chime. My 4 year old like to play this bowl while I’m playing my crystal bowls. I’d recommend as a cute gift to a friend or for a child.

This small singing bowl sounds well when struck and it also sings fairly well.I use it during my opening and closing rituals for tarot card readings. It does what it does nicely for a fair price. I am pleased with my purchase 😀

This was a great buy. The detailing is beautiful and it's little pillow is perfect. Sound is very pleasing. Note size.

Falls short of sound. I am new to this and not sure if I’m doing it correctly but it is beautiful with a few flaws in pain work. Overall a good piece to try your hand at bowl singing. I will be trying another company to see if product quality is the problem or my inexperience. It could have a hairline fracture that makes it difficult to sing but I’m hoping not and will continue to try. I tried using the pillow ring but it sings best in my palm or on finger tips. I also have better luck with the male end of the wand.

Better than I Expected. With practice, you can get some very loud or soft exotic sounds.
