1) The Sound samples can only approximately convey the sound image of the singing bowls, because the sound from bowl to bowl differs somewhat and depends on many factors such as metal composition, wall thickness, temperature, etc.. A deviation of the sound of the sent singing bowl from the sound samples audible here is therefore not a defect.

Om symbol & Areas of application

The syllable Om, sacred to Buddhists, represents the primordial sound from which the whole universe originated. Om is often part of Buddhist mantras such as Om Mani Padme Hum. The energy of the engraved Om symbol combines with the sound of the bowl and promotes centering in meditation.
The singing bowl is suitable for sound massage as well as the accompaniment of meditation or mindfulness exercises with children and adults.

Because of its low price, beautiful sound and easy to play, it is ideal for beginners.

Traditional manufacturing

Nepal is located in the famous Himalayan Mountains and has a long tradition of making singing bowls. The manufacturing is done in small workshops and is a sweaty affair. The composition of the metal is a secret and has a significant effect on the sound quality.

First, a metal disc is made to glow. Then, several men drive the shell out of the disc by hand, little by little, with great force and skill, using hammers. As is usual in blacksmithing, many operations of annealing and driving are necessary until the final shape is achieved.
Finally, the shell is smoothed before it receives its beautiful luster through extensive hand polishing.
Finally, the Om symbol is engraved by hand in the inner bottom of the bowl.

Due to the handwork and the changing composition of the metal, each singing bowl never sounds exactly like the other.
