What makes the 28 cm piece special?
The 28 cm is already a seriously sized singing bowl: its weight, sound and presence in the space bring a quite different level. It is the best choice for you if you lead sound bath workshops or therapy groups, if you have a serious home practice, or if you are specifically looking for a large, reliable base bowl. This piece is not a first singing bowl, but it is exactly the right choice when you know you are planning for the long term.
Sound and resonance
The base tone is deep, slowly vibrating, and after the strike the resonance can often be heard for more than a minute. With the circular playing motion the sound rises gradually and completely fills the space. You can work with it using gentler or stronger playing alike – both sound beautiful, just bringing a different kind of quiet into the practice.
Material, craftsmanship, individuality
The bowl is made of a metal alloy with traditional hand techniques. The small marks, fine patterns and warmly shimmering colour shades on the surface are all signs of handcraft. Every 28 cm Nirmala sounds a bit different: some are deeper, others have a slightly brighter tone. The one that arrives for you will bring its own character home with you.
Where can you use it best?
As the central bowl of sound bath sessions, as a closing tone for yoga classes in a larger room, as the opening and closing tone for therapeutic or self-knowledge workshops, as the sound of a family quiet ritual. You can also use it at home in a living room or meditation corner if you have the right space – its sound can be impressive even in a smaller room when you play it gently.
Cleaning and durability
For cleaning, a dry, soft cloth is recommended. Avoid chemicals and dishwashing liquid. The bowl should stand on a soft cushion, and the striker should not stay inside the bowl. Store it in a dry, dust-free place if you do not play it for a longer time. Cared for this way, the piece can be a faithful companion for decades and you can even pass it on to the next generation.
