An amazing jambati that rings for nearly 2 minutes with a single tap. With a deep tone and angelic harmonics, the tone rings on and on with so many special qualities.

Click Listen to hear the sound of this exact singing bowl – Joseph has photographed and recorded every individual singing bowl and it will continue to be featured long term in the virtual museum.

The first singing bowls were made around the 11th century, during one of the high periods of Buddhism in Nepal. The best examples coincide with high periods of culture, which is part of how I determine their age. The singing bowls are related to bowls from ancient Persia and Khorosan. Later forms are also related to similar bowls from Southeast Asia. Singing bowls spread through Asia over the last few hundred years. Antique singing bowls were crafted with an ancient process called annealing, where a bronze disc is repeatedly heated, cooled and hammered until the desired form is acheived. The ability for bronze to be reworked repeatedly allowed the artisans to craft these truly stunning forms. The durability of this fine bronze material has allowed them to endure for so long. Kept in good condition, they will last for another thousand years.

Antique singing bowls have a sound and vibration unlike anything in the world. Experience the most peaceful and beautiful sounds known to humanity.

The Singing Bowl Museum is home to the finest antique singing bowls in the world. No other collection comes close to the size and quality represented here.

Joseph was the first person to record singing bowls for the internet and continues to record each one. The sounds are not manipulated or edited in any way – the bowls really sound this great!
