We recommend the larger-sized, E note tuned crystal singing bowl to more serious sound workers and practitioners holding larger group sessions. Made from frosted quartz, the bowl plays at a 432 Hz base frequency and produces a full, deeper sound profile.
Advantages of the larger size
The larger-diameter bowl produces a deeper base tone and fuller harmonics that create physically perceptible vibration. You hear the sound not only with your ears – your body also senses the vibration, which is especially effective in sound therapy practices.
The harmony of E note and 432 Hz
Sound therapy tradition connects the E note with the heart chakra area and strengthens the energy of loving, compassionate emotions. The 432 Hz tuning gives a warmer, softer tone than the 440 Hz standard, so it provides you and your group with a calmer experience.
Ideal places
Use it well in more spacious homes, yoga studios, sound therapy centers, community spaces, workshops, and larger meditation gatherings. It serves groups of 6-12 people with appropriate volume and vibration. You can also hold more serious sessions with it.
Playing technique
The larger bowl requires stronger but not more vigorous movements. Place it on a non-slip mat, and with the included mallet slide slowly with a circular motion along the inner edge. Patience is needed for the sound to unfold – you will feel when it has sung out in its full essence.
Storage and care
The larger size requires special storage attention. Store it on a stable, flat surface away from impact-risky places. Wipe it with a soft cloth after use, and avoid chemical cleaners. The value of the larger piece is preserved with careful handling, and if possible, store it in a padded box.
