Good perspective on following your personal feeling. I've been guiding people similarly for 25 years. To clarify your questions about tuning and how the bowls produce sound, the real bronze bowls (new or antique) produce 3 distinct tones: the low fundamental tone, a harmonic overtone (1 octave higher) and a very high harmonic overtone (1 octave higher again). You can hear the 3 tones at once. How well tuned the bowl sounds depends on how well tuned those 3 tones are with each other. When a bowl has good internal harmony, you can really hear the difference. Out of tune bowls don't feel the same and don't sound nearly as beautiful. There are also frequencies outside our hearing range. There are other intangible qualities to the sound and vibration that are important, too. It's not just the frequency at all, especially when you get into the amazing antiques. Like you said, this tuning idea extends to making a set of multiple bowls: you want to combine bowls that sound great together. They really do something amazing when you make a good combination. Unfortunately, most people just put notes together: C, D, E and that doesn't work. You have to match all those multiple frequencies by ear to get that special sound and vibration.

Thank you! Very useful information. You are a musican, which is good!

I Love it your like a kid with them I Love it 🎉😊

Very nice presentation, Nick. I got my first bowl in the early 1990s (a Japanese rin), but really didn't get the hooked until 2017. I too prefer the hand-hammered Himalayan bowls, though over the years I've picked up Thai, Vietnamese and Korean bowls as well, and branched out a bit with gongs. I will def try to join your next live stream.

Thanks, Nick! Really insightful information! How do you recommend purchasing bowls online without hearing them first?

Thanks for the great video. Of necessity I have to buy online, which is obviously not the best. Some of the larger old hand hammered bowls, which I do love, are very expensive now and I wonder if it is worth spending so much on them, just because of size and age?

Thanks for this video. In the process of buying a bowl. I really liked that first bowl. What size/tone was that & where would be a good place to do an online purchase? I know many recommend going to a shop to physically listen & feel them out, but there really isn’t many shops around my way with signing bowls. Thanks in advance !

Any idea what's a reputable singing bowls vendor for Europe?

Where did you get your set
