Previously used in Tibet for meditation and ceremonial purposes, Tibetan Singing Bowls are struck with a padded mallet or rubbed around the rim with a playing mallet to produce a fascinating blend of harmonic resonance's and rich overtones.

The Tibetan Singing Bowls offered by Bodhisattva Trading Co., Inc., are antiques from the Himalayas, and are between 100 and 500 years old.

Each special bowl has been personally selected in the Himalayas by Tibetan musicologist and recording artist Rain Gray who has been collecting, researching and recording Tibetan Singing Bowls for over 30 years.

Our Tibetan Singing Bowls are Master-quality^®, meaning they have passed our stringent quality control standards for:

• beauty of harmonic balance
• ease and smoothness of playing
• volume
• long lasting sustain
• authentic age

Of the tens of thousands of bowls we test each year in the Himalayas, only half of a percent (0.005%) achieves this standard.

Tibetan Singing Bowls come in sizes from under 4 inches to over 13 inches in diameter, and are available in 14 different types . . .
