This crystal singing bowl is made of polished quartz crystal, tuned to the A note at a 432 Hz base frequency, in a medium size. You receive a version that produces a full, deep tone and yet remains comfortable to handle, whether at home or in a yoga studio.
Why the Medium Size Works Well
Larger bowls offer a fuller sound that builds up more slowly, but they also need more space and are heavier to manage. The medium size is a balance: it already provides a deep, long-sustaining base tone, yet remains easy to move or store on top of a cupboard. You get a piece that is more manageable for everyday home use.
What the A Note at 432 Hz Means
The musical A note here is not at the usual 440 Hz but at 432 Hz. Many people find this tuning warmer and softer. When the bowl is set in motion the tone lasts for a long time, and leaning close you may feel the vibration in your chest.
How to Play It
You guide a striker around the rim with a steady, circular motion. After a few seconds the bowl begins to sing and produces a sustained tone. Struck directly, it sounds a brief, ringing note. The medium size sits stably during play.
How You Can Use It
It is a very pleasant choice for a home sound bath: you sit or lie down while the bowl plays a steady tone for several minutes. We recommend it to yoga teachers as a closing or opening sound — audible even in group classes. It also serves individual meditation well: if your attention drifts, the sound calls you back to the moment. You can also use it before sleep, in a quiet room.
Material and Craftsmanship
Polished quartz crystal, whitish and translucent, with a matte surface. The rim is even and the base is flat, so it sits stably. The medium size is a good balance between sound and space requirements.
What to Watch For
Quartz crystal is impact-sensitive. Keep it on a non-slip mat and prevent other hard objects from knocking against it. A soft, dry cloth is enough for cleaning. When not in use, place the striker beside the bowl, not inside it.
