SINGING BOWLS

Singing bowls also called the healing bowls. Can be tracked back to Asia as early 2000 BC. they are made of an alloy of seven different metals, connected to seven astrological planets, which create a range of different sounds and overtones. Those seven metals are gold-as sun, silver as moon, mercury as mercury, copper as Venus, iron as mars, tin as Jupiter, lead as Saturn. Some singing bowls should consist of only five metals. These bowls format, depth, color girth and composition are variable.

Amazing! Must be very hard to make one of those properly. My hearing sure keeps me from being an expert on sound but I'd sure like to hear one of them.
I've seen or hear of them running a finger around the rim making it sing.
 
This one needs an AUDIO to go with the photo. Do you know the origination of this one? Is it Nepalese made?
Thanks.

Mmmmmm! That is sweet! Too much gold in it for my blood but I always wanted one. Maybe one with more lead? I do know the amount of work and engineering that goes into these is well worth it and they do sound so fine! I want to put one in the middle of my dome so it gets amplified! Thats a beauty right there too! Maybe I better to wait for my crypto to split or lottery no. to come up? Sure is purdy tho! Really tho folks these are an amazing piece of art and the balance of metals is very controlled to get the right intonation etc. Some day I will own one. You know how you rub your finger around the edge of a glass to make it sing. Well amplify that 100 times and tune it just right! Truly astounding!

It could be a mistake to buy a singing bowl without listening to it - at least to an audio of that specific bowl. They are all tuned differently and so the effect can be wide ranging. Not unlike a blind date - could be absolutely wonderful and then again totally underwhelming.

No criticism intended. I know Auntie isn't selling anything but goodness.

Ah I didn't mean it that way, Ray.. :D Love ya man.
I hope that the guy who ordered these shows up and honors his deal...
 
Auntie... do you have any of these singing bowls left in stock and available???
 
Expect possible delays. She has a pretty major dental procedure today. Might need to rest for awhile. She never rest but hopefully she will at least slow down for a bit.
 
These are very cool I had a friend with one and the tone (intensity/pitch?) changes depending on the person playing it
 
I want one!

Except, am I the only one who noticed the Mercury?

With respect, how is that not dangerous? Especially if used for cooking, as the info encourages?
 
This is the first time I read about singing bowl used for cooking :eek:

I’m guessing here: whatever metal being used, it’s already forming an alloy, and unless there’s chemical reactions (like brass vs acid), it should be quite ok.
