Ohm Store Tibetan Singing Bowl Set — Meditation Sound Bowl Handcrafted in Nepal for Yoga, Chakra Healing, Mindfulness, and Stress Relief — Unique Spiritual Gifts for Women and Men

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

Purchase for best friend as a gift. She loves it! Right before this she had taken a 1 day relaxation class where they used one of these (a larger one) and she raves about it. She also raves about this.

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!!

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

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 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.

The bowl is beautifully made, with smooth sides, clean edges and a mild sheen. If you look closely, you can see a number of small scratches and a stain or two, but they don't detract from the overall appearance. The bowl is sturdily made and fairly hefty for its size. Despite its small imperfections, it has a charming antique look and is makes for a lovely decorative piece. it feels lovely cupped in my palm and doesn't look cheap at all.Some reviews have complained about the size of the bowl. It's 3.5" wide at the lip and about 4" wide at its widest point (about 2/3rds of the way down the bowl). It sits well within the palm of your hand.The only thing that detracted from the aesthetic appearance of the bowl was the mallet. It has a distinctly cheap look with an uneven cut. It's not immediately obvious, especially when resting inside the bowl, but I'm considering buying a higher quality mallet to go with the bowl.I was anxious about how it would play. I read that cheap bowls can have a high tinny sound and some poorly-made bowls don't sing at all. Turns out that this bowl plays a full, pure, vibrating mid-range tone and it is a joy to listen to. It's almost effortless to make it sing - I've never played a singing bowl before, but it took me less than a minute to figure out how to make it sing. It seems you can adjust the volume and the vibrato speed by circling faster/slower or with more/less pressure, though I'm still experimenting with this. You can play it held on your hand or resting upon the felt ring. Alternately, strike it with the mallet to get one long note that lasts 10-20 seconds.The primary tone of my bowl is about 619Hz (~D#5) - this is the tone that comes out when I circle it. There's also an overtone of 1703Hz (~G#6) which rings out cleanly when I strike the side. If you strike the top half of the bowl with a quick, glancing tap, you can isolate the overtone. There's another overtone of 3172Hz (G7) which I can very occasionally hear when striking, but I haven't been able to isolate it.Sound-wise, my only concern is that when I circled the bowl, I often heard a soft scraping sound where the wooden mallet rubbed against the bowl. I tried to reduce this by wiping and polishing the bowl with a bit of olive oil. This removed some oxidation from the outside, gave it a brighter sheen, and reduced the scraping, although oiling it also made the bowl a lot harder to get singing. But the bowl recovered in a couple of days and now I'm able to sing it quite easily with minimal scraping.An excellent purchase overall. I'm pleased with the quality of the bowl, especially considering its very reasonable price. It now sits on my shelf where I will often ring it as I walk past.

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 :(
