Glad you liked it, Karen. ?Printed instruction? - This technique for improvisation applies to any open-stringed instruments: soundingbowls.com/advisory/beginning-to-play/

Keep up the great work

Thank you for your comment/contribution. I heartily agree.

It is, indeed. Made from Platanus x Acerfolia, London Plane.

Did you have a favourite? If so, which of the three?

Thanks Phil. Those were the days. 😉 Older, wiser and happier now, though.

Thank you. Did you compare with others on my channel, or come across this randomly?

@@SoundingBowls-4u a friend just sent me the link. She just ordered one. I am a harpist who does therapeutic harp for seniors and special needs.

@@mtsspadaro598 This smaller bowl is also a popular listen: ruclips.net/video/wen4UJyNo5o/видео.html

I can make you one, like I made this one. www.SoundingBowls.com

Is yours designed to have only two strings? or are the rest just missing? Does yours carry my signature on the base, or is it maybe a copy? Those few I made with just two strings were commissioned by meditators to provide a sound-source as a gateway to higher consciousness. The realms of the unthought universe can be accessed through sound and particularly through interval. Tuning the two strings to different notes gives you access to the basic conditions of creation that flow through relationship. All that is comes into being between two poles. Choose notes a third apart, or a second apart or a minor fifth, for example, to develop the relationship between the aware self and the creator. These are deep levels of meditation that not everyone strives after.

Thank you. I agree. Did you find my site and the other instruments I make?

Walnut is sometimes used for broaches and ear-ring decorations, yes. soundingbowls.com/types-of-wood/ The coloured pegs on this bowl are from a variety of trees including box, mulberry, ash and sycamore. The other tree that touches people most deeply is Birch.

@@SoundingBowls-4u Many thanks for the information. The birch is really very amazing. I'm happy about your answer!! Have a good Sunday.

There are dominions, of States of consciousness that particularly release healing sounds. Accessing these through meditation practices, not substances, supported the creation, both of the bowls and the music.

Thank you. Did you visit their website, too?

Hi Jeremy I am in no doubt that they do. I am reading Susan Simard's 'Finding the Mother Tree' and finding it extremely brilliant and beautifully well written. I have read a good deal on this issue, Peter Wohlleben irritates me with his anthropomorphic overtones, but he has done a lot to popularise the issue in his 'The Hidden Life of Trees.' Personally I take the issue a lot deeper, concomitant with my explorations of the nature of consciousness itself and collated a group of exercises into the exploration of tree-consciousness here: soundingbowls.com/product/cd-brotherhood-with-trees/

We are not after a pure sound, Jeremy. We are after a rich and affective one. At every stage the artistic process has been the main guide. I discovered the acoustic curve accidentally soundingbowls.com/a-short-history/ and only developed my realisation that this was a Fibonacci curve later. We map out each bowl on paper, using Fibonacci/exponential curve templates then we allow a small amount of belly along the architectural principle of gravity-influenced curves first seen in Greek temples. Then we apply the curve to the wood using the artistic eye and only check it subsequently. This allows for human care to intervene between mathematical perfection and artistic/healing result. The only meter we use to check on the sound is human responses. Certain types of bowl are more likely to reduce people to tears than others but all types have been seen to do so. This is the result that matters most to us, the Human response.

Thank you, Daniel. May that day come soon.

Hi Iuliana. The easiest way is through the shop page: www.soundingbowls.com/shop We send them all over the world. You can also reach me direct through that website and learn more there about our work. There is a chapter from a book there, for example describing their use in Music Therapy with dementia as one example: soundingbowls.com/uncategorized/dementia-music-book

What's pretentious for one of connection for another. All roads (can) lead to the Rome of beautiful bowls

There are many hidden secrets All that hides them is the Not Seeing. Silence creates the prison Ask and it shall be given The truth will set you free If you crack the code Illusions erode The bones of Life do show If you heal the wound We are rewound The flame of Life doth grow
