In earlier singing bowls, the metal is folded at the rim to achieve a very symmetrical and beautiful form. This method was lost but some makers, like this one, seem to have tried it their own way.
Are singing bowls good for home? The subtle effects of singing bowls on the environment are invisible, yet palpable. We feel the invisible power of vibration.
In my book, The Singing Bowl Book, I discuss and show in pictures the many traditional and modern ways singing bowls are used. My years of research led me to the conclusion that the original use of a singing bowl was as a multipurpose food and collection bowl. Large singing bowls were used in temples.
