This small size handmade singing bowl has been specially crafted in the ancient tradition for the most perfect tone. Each singing bowl is hand selected for superior tuning, symmetrical shape, and beautiful appearance. These are the best sounding singing bowls made today. This small sized singing bowl has a bright and uplifting tone, with a surprising mellow undertone. This size is perfect for personal meditation. The compact size fits anywhere easily but it's loud enough to fill a room. Small and medium sizes are popular with teachers. Combine different sizes to make a harmonic set. Singing bowls are made from bell metal bronze, the preferred alloy for all bells and gongs for over 3,000 years. Our new handmade singing bowls are made from the same metal and with the same crafsmanship as the fine antiques. This will be a fine antique in 100 years and the tone will improve as it ages. Traditionally, a small singing bowl is used to signal the passage of time, to signal a change in meditation (for example changing from sitting to walking meditation) or to signal the end of a meditation period. Small singing bowls are used in Japan as part of ancestor and funeral rites. Feng Shui practitioners like the small size for space clearing. Choose from our range of colors and sizes. Two handmade mallets and a handmade cushion are included with each singing bowl. Click the Listen button to hear a recording of this singing bowl.
