Magick Album - Nepali Singing Bowl  

Nepali Singing Bowl
Purchased from Santosha

This is my palm sized singing bowl which was handcrafted in Nepal. It was handmade from the traditional seven metals: gold, silver, copper, lead, tin, zinc and iron. I pull it out and ring it when I clear the house during the new moon time.


When I pull this bowl out I almost feel like I want to look over my shoulder or something...wanting to make sure that it's extremely quiet before I ring it because the sound that comes from playing it is so amazing and beautiful.

It should probably be cleaned and I don't know how to clean it. It is a meld of seven different metals so I have always been unsure about how to polish it exactly or if I even should.

I had looked around all over the place for a very nice singing bowl. Alas, most of what I found on the 'net was very expensive and understandibly so. They were also either very large sized or came in sets where each bowl was specifically crafted and tune to sing a particular key or note.

After purchasing this one from Santosha, and being pleased with it, I also bought another one as a birthday gift for my future intended.

I had not considered when I bought the item for him and heard him play it, was that each person plays a singing bowl differently. I had assumed more or less that the sound would be the same when anyone rang or played the bowl, but it is not!

In fact, when I heard my honey playing his singing bowl or even mine for that matter, his rhythm and timing for making the bowl sing is very different (and very soothing I might add!)

On the left is a product image from the store I made the purchase from. The box comes in different styles and colors, each having its own meaning, but that is something one would have to research on their own.
