Late Period Singing Bowls

    Filter

      I divide singing bowls into early and late periods, defined by a radical change in manufacturing style around the 16th century. Earlier singing bowls were made by folding the metal at the rim, forming a wide symmetrical lip. Many of the bowls in the Museum Collection are these early types.

      Later period singing bowls were made from the 16th century and continue to be made today. Rather than a folded rim, they are hammered flat and scraped. Many have no fold and some have a simple inward fold at the rim.

      The Singing Bowl Museum has fewer examples of the later period antiques but the vast majority of singing bowls were made in this later style. The new technique used less material and was much faster. 

      This collection features later period antiques from the 16th - 19th century. I hand selected each top quality example for its genuine age, excellent condition, beautiful sound and great feeling vibration. Listen with headphones to hear the real sounds.

      Why are antique singing bowls so much better?

      Fine antique singing bowls were made more finely than any made today. The fine hammering and better symmetry make antique bowls sound better.

      The aging process also improves the tone. As the bowls age, they sound more and more mellow. The vibration becomes more and more relaxing.

      Nothing sounds as beautiful as an antique singing bowl.
