I got a singing bowl

DarknessDivine · 01-05-2005, 07:22 AM

My sister got me one for Christmas, it got lost in the mail so it just arrived...It is the best gift I got this year...Here is a description incase you don't know what it is...

Quote:

Made in Nepal in the Kathmandu Valley. Tibetan singing bowls are made of a special alloy of bronze, iron and zinc. You make your bowl "sing" (resonate) by continuously rubbing a hard stick known as a "puja" stick around the outside rim of the bowl. When rubbed in this manner, the bowl resonates with two pure tones. This is due to the shape of the bowl, the rim thickness and the relative masses of the rim and base of the bowl.
The sound is beautiful and haunting.

I have one of those bowls. I LOVE things like that. One time, got to make a bowl "sing" that was huge.. and made of crystal. It was in a large room, and made the whole place hum and vibrate. Awesome Awesome Awesome.
