This crystal singing bowl tuned to clear F is a distinct, focused vibrating piece that turns the fine structure of quartz into a long, soft tone. The 18 cm diameter is also fitting for home, intimate use — in a meditation corner, a quiet living room or a sound-tuning corner. The set includes a carrying bag, two mallets and a rubber stability ring.
The material of the bowl: a structure formed from pure quartz
The singing bowl is made of finely ground quartz crystal heated to several thousand degrees. The high temperature fuses the grains into a uniform, translucent white structure — this gives the bowl its clear, glass-like ring. The material is homogeneous, so the sound spreads evenly around and the vibration rings out long and softly. The surface is light in colour and soft to the touch.
The F tone and the 432 Hz tuning
The bowl is tuned to the F note of the musical scale, with a 432 Hz base tuning (A4 = 432 Hz). This is an established, calmer, slightly warmer character of tuning, favoured in sound-tuning settings. A deviation of plus or minus 2 Hz from the 432 Hz reference is considered normal for natural materials and hand-finished work, and does not meaningfully affect the quality of sound.
What you may use it for: sound meditation, quiet rest, settling in
Place the bowl on a stable, level surface — a table or a rug — on the rubber ring provided. With the mallet touching the rim of the bowl, you start the sound through a gentle circular motion. The vibration may ring on for minutes, and by joining your breathing to it you can settle into a state of deep calm. We recommend it for personal meditation, attunement between partners, or simply the quietening down of an evening.
Safety notice: what is good for you to know
Do not place the bowl over anyone's head, and do not strike it too loudly in the direct vicinity of another person. If you, or someone near you, wear a metal implant or a stainless steel element built into the bone, ask about their sensations before sounding the bowl. Use only the rubber and suede-leather mallets that come with it — wooden or metal sticks may crack the bowl due to its delicate structure.
Country of origin: China, professional hand-finishing
The bowl is produced in China, where workshops specialised in quartz processing are well established. High temperature, timing and tuning are all part of professional craft. It arrives with the carrying bag, and a cardboard box ensures protection during transport.
