This is the larger-size version of the crystal singing bowl: made of polished quartz crystal, tuned to the A note at a 432 Hz base frequency. Because of the larger diameter the tone is fuller, deeper, and sustains longer than with smaller pieces. You choose this version if you take sound bathing, yoga teaching, or personal meditation practice more seriously.
What Makes the Larger Size Different
The size of the bowl directly affects the sound. A larger diameter delivers a deeper base tone, the sustain is longer, and the vibration is more physically noticeable. You get a bowl that, on its own, fills the room with sound — you do not need additional bowls if you are looking for a base.
The A Note at 432 Hz
Here the base frequency of the musical A note is 432 Hz, not the 440 Hz standard. Many people seek out this tuning because they find it softer and warmer. The bowl simply sings at this frequency — the quality of the tone comes from the clarity of the quartz crystal and the size together.
How to Play It
You guide the striker around the rim in a steady, circular motion with even pressure. The larger bowl takes longer to start singing, but once it does, the tone sustains for a long time. Struck directly, it produces a deep, bell-like sound. The larger size sits stably; you may wish to use both hands when moving it.
How You Can Use It
For a home sound bath it provides a deep, long-lasting base tone. In a yoga studio it works well as a closing tone for group classes: the sound embraces the whole room. Practitioners working with sound therapy often choose it as a deep base. It also suits personal meditation if you prefer deeper tones.
Material and Craftsmanship
Polished quartz crystal, whitish and translucent, with a matte finish. The rim is even and the base is flat, so it stands stably despite the larger size.
Practical Tips
Place it on a stable, flat surface, on a non-slip mat. Use both hands when moving it. Quartz crystal is impact-sensitive, so avoid contact with hard objects. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning — no chemicals. Place the striker beside the bowl after use.
