About the Sound Sample
First, you’ll hear the bowl struck on its upper outside edge with a medium-knitted gong mallet. Next, you’ll hear the rim tone played with the leather end of the 30mm leather-padded mallet. Lastly, you’ll hear the fundamental tone played with the leather end of the 40mm leather-padded “Fat Boy” mallet.
Note: The strike sustains for 1:10, while the rim tone sustains for 1:20 and the fundamental tone sustains for 1:30 upon release of the playing mallet.
“Jambati” singing bowl
Called Jambati in the Himalayas, the High-wall type 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.
