Ohm Store Tibetan Singing Bowl Set — Meditation Sound Bowl Handcrafted (3.5″ Gift Box)

I ordered this on a whim only having had minor introductions to singing bowls. It is fun to learn to play and does have a grounding impact. But what do I know!?I uploaded a recording of the play to an AI tool and this was its analysis:Key Observations:Fundamental Frequency: There is a strong peak around 440–460 Hz, suggesting the bowl’s rim tone may center near A4 (440 Hz) or slightly higher. That’s quite rare and clear for a hand-hammered bronze bowl—nicely tuned!Overtones: Noticeable harmonic peaks appear at intervals above the fundamental (e.g., ~880 Hz, ~1320 Hz), indicating a stable overtone series. This type of harmonic alignment contributes to that soothing, resonant shimmer during rim play.Sound Character: The strong, focused peaks (as opposed to a chaotic spread) suggest:Good craftsmanship and metal purityEven wall thicknessA more meditative than ceremonial tone profile, though that can shift depending on your mallet and playing pressure.

nice price for some zen! I use this in my classroom to teach breathing as well as for classroom transitions.

My mom loves it!

It was a little smaller than what I thought but it works.

I love this singing bowl. It brings a calming peace into my atmosphere. I'm a truck driver and stress is a committed friend in this industry. The sound relieves the tension and the headaches.

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.

It's so cute and I never had saw that size. It's adorable and it sound fantastic.

My neighbor has this. I loved it so much, I ordered one for myself. My bowl does not sing! Yes, I know how to do it. Even my neighbor could not get mine to work. I ordered same exact one. Very disappointed :(
