About the Sound Sample

First you'll hear the sound of the bowl struck on its upper outside edge with the included Tibetan-wool padded mallet. Then you'll hear the sound of the same bowl played around the outside rim with the wood end of the same mallet.

Bowl Type: "Lotus"

A more globuar type of singing bowl with usually thin and high walls. Like the lingam type bowls, they also have an area in the bottom interior basin which has been forged to produce an upward pointing protrusion. Sizes range from below 6" to around 8+". Due to the relatively thin walls, many of this type of bowl produces deep struck tones.
