The Mani bowls are some of the most unusual of all the singing bowls. They have a unique pear shape, extremely thick and heavy construction and a dramatically thick rim. They produce extremely high pitches as a result of the thickness and an unusual watery sound as a result of the inwardly curved shape.
This collection includes a very small number of bowls because in 20 years of collecting, I found many mani bowls but selected very few. Most do not meet my standards for a harmonious sound. Such high pitches must be tuned extremely well to sound pleasing. The examples I collected were the best sounding ever discovered and are extremely rare for that reason.
The mani bowls are somewhat outside the normal singing bowl history. See my articles to learn more.
