About the Sound Sample
First, we strike this Antique Jambati singing bowl on its upper outside edge with a medium wool-padded gong mallet. Next, we play the rim tone with the leather end of the 30mm leather-padded mallet. Lastly, we isolate the fundamental tone played with the leather end of the 40mm leather-padded “Fat Boy” mallet.
“Jambati” singing bowl
Called Jambati in the Himalayas, this is the largest diameter variety of all the Tibetan singing bowls. They are highly prized for their deep basso profundo Om tones. Fundamental tones can range from the second to the third octave of a piano. The rim tones can spread into the fifth octave.
