About the Sound Sample

First you'll hear the sound of the bowl struck on its upper outside edge with the included Tibetan-wool padded mallet. This blends into the second sound which is the same bowl played around the outside rim with the Xcelite 99-1 mallet.

Bowl Type: "Dharma"

Typically light construction, with slightly concave aperture and a generous belly. Multiple parallel line patterns are lathed around the exterior wall. Often, a dot-line inscriptions will appear approximately half an inch below the rim on the exterior wall. These bowls may have been partially cast as well as forged. Usually, a set of concentric circles orbit out from a small circle in the center of the basin. The lip is usually grooved. Often Dharma style singing bowls also have an inscription on the exterior.
