Ohm StoreTibetan Singing Bowl Set — Meditation Sound Bath Bowl and Wooden Striker with Lokta Gift Box — Hand Hammered Nepali Instrument for Yoga, Chakra Healing and Stress Relief

It’s little, and makes a beautiful sound. This was a gift and they are very happy! It travels well, which is what they wanted. Great price, durable, kind of heavy for being so small.

Beautiful!! Also was packaged very nice and securely :)) appears to be amazing quality and has a very nice vibrating hum to it! Feels like it has a good weight and just genuinely looks exactly like the picture! Honestly was worth the money!!

I'm absolutely new to singing bowls and this is my first one and looked at videos on Youtube to see how their used. So I'm gonna tell you my experience from day one of receiving it up until now, which will be useful to other first time users. When I first unpacked it I bugged out on how small it is. Now I knew it was gonna be small from the reviews on it before purchasing, but I just didn't realize how small until I actually got it in my hand. It's stark small. Even in my small hand it felt too small to use. I was trying to rotate the wood stick around the edge and was feeling awkward like this thing isn't made to be held, not to mention that I wasn't getting a sound from it. But this was really my inexperience and being a stranger, not the size of the bowl, which I gradually discovered afterward. It's a day by day thing.Now it comes with a little note on a card with a friendly greeting and a how to use it link to download, but I found the website address to be nonexistent or the address not given correctly. Numerous hits came up with none of them being the actual Ohm Store selling this bowl and offering any download, and I was a little frustrated with that. But I didn't panic and start thinking that I've just been gypped, and Googled how play a singing bowl to read something about holding and playing it. Which turned out out well. And so I suggest not bothering with the note. Don't aggravate yourself with that, on what will appear to be a wild goose chase. I hope that the Ohm Store will get around to correcting this feature.So now that I've obtained a grasp on how to hold and play it, I still found it awkward to hold and play. The only sound I could get from it was by striking it on the side. So I sat the bowl down on a bed table in front of me, and was able to play it that way. I could actually hear it singing with the striker stick circling the edge. And this had me convinced for awhile that the bowl is made too small to use in your hand. And I then realized that that way was a problem too, as the bowl was sliding around on the table. Which is what kept using it in my hand in my intention. So for day one's practice, I played it little in the only way that I could, on a table, and called it a day. And I took a couple of shots at it later on in the night on the table. For a total of 3 tries on day one.Now on day two, amazingly, I found that I was able to play it in my hand. Not well, but playing it. Now what happened? What was the difference between today and yesterday? The difference was acquaintance. I was a total stranger to the bowl yesterday and more acquainted with it today. So I found that you have to become attuned to the world of sacred sound. The effort you made on the first day isn't forgotten by the other side your connecting to. Okay, now on day two I'm playing it my hand, and it still felt awkward. And today, like yesterday, I put in a total of 3 tries and called it a day.Okay, now on day three, I decided to use the ring with the bowl in my hand, with my hand opened, fingers not touching the bowl. To give it some height that may allow me to circle the striker more smoothly. And to my surprise, I was playing that bowl much much better. In fact, the sound got louder and louder as I was circling, like a symphony, and I started feeling a very strong vibration in my hand that flowed up to my forearm. The difference as far as I can see, is acquaintance. Each day brings you closer to the realm of sacred sound. And I found the bowl to feel comfortable in my hand with the ring.Well that's all I have to tell you for now. I've been using it for 3 days. It's a great bowl, I love it, and are grateful to have it. Kudos to the Ohm Store for kicking out a wonderful work of art at an affordable price, and I highly recommend this bowl to everyone. Especially newbies. All in all, the tiny size of the bowl isn't an issue. It has nothing to do with the function and quality of the bowl, and if you are new at it, you will experience the same break in period with a larger bowl. In fact, the small size of the bowl makes it perfect to carry with you.

This is my first purchase of a singing bowl. There is a learning curve but it's worth the practice. It comes with a fabric o-shaped pad. The bowl seems to slide around on that for me but I am not sure if it's the novice in me! The weight and feel is a good sturdy bowl that not only sings beautifully but is aesthetically pleasing to the eye.

I have a limited foray into Tibetan singing bowls, although I am a professional musician and know instrument quality. I think the bowl sounds true to what it is. It produces a clear chime when struck. It was easy to produce a singing tone. The fundamental is very nice, and overtones aren’t strident — the instrument seems well balanced tonally. This is a legitimate instrument.The bowl is of good quality. The finish is not perfect, but then, this is a handmade instrument and tone is the issue, not the appearance, in particular. Although the bowl is very pretty. The mallet is nice — balanced, nicely finished, and appropriate for the size of the bowl. The padded ring is of good quality.The bowl, mallet and ring came well-packaged and padded. The seller has included an informational pamphlet with the bowl that’s a nice touch. I was also impressed that they reached out to me via email shortly after the package arrived. The email thanked me for the purchase, and included a downloadable PDF instruction sheet, including basics on how to get the bowl to sing, as well as two or three alternative methods of playing.The bowl looks nice adorning my meditation altar, and will make a nice sound addition to my practice. I use sound in healing work, and the bowl’s clear tone will be of benefit in that regard. It’s not museum quality, but it’s not a toy, either. I feel the integrity of the craftsmanship is up to snuff for the purpose, and is honest in its quality and presentation.Although there was no problem with the bowl, the seller seems to be easy to work with, and offered up front to be contacted if there were to be a problem. I’m confident that customer service is excellent. They seem to know their stuff, they care about their product, and they are involved in the mediation/healing community.I thought the price was fair, and I like that the instrument is sourced from local Nepalese people. Just good juju! If I feel I need another bowl, I shall consider the Ohm Store first. If you’re considering a bowl, but unsure which to choose, or unsure if you could work with the bowl, my experience with this bowl and this seller gives me the confidence to recommend them. I had never worked with a singing bowl before, but I had it singing in less than a minute. The bowl and seller are energetically very positive. Don’t hesitate.
