I have a limited foray into Tibetan singing bowls, although I am a professional musician and know instrument quality. I think the bowl sounds true to what it is. It produces a clear chime when struck. It was easy to produce a singing tone. The fundamental is very nice, and overtones aren’t strident — the instrument seems well balanced tonally. This is a legitimate instrument.The bowl is of good quality. The finish is not perfect, but then, this is a handmade instrument and tone is the issue, not the appearance, in particular. Although the bowl is very pretty. The mallet is nice — balanced, nicely finished, and appropriate for the size of the bowl. The padded ring is of good quality.The bowl, mallet and ring came well-packaged and padded. The seller has included an informational pamphlet with the bowl that’s a nice touch. I was also impressed that they reached out to me via email shortly after the package arrived. The email thanked me for the purchase, and included a downloadable PDF instruction sheet, including basics on how to get the bowl to sing, as well as two or three alternative methods of playing.The bowl looks nice adorning my meditation altar, and will make a nice sound addition to my practice. I use sound in healing work, and the bowl’s clear tone will be of benefit in that regard. It’s not museum quality, but it’s not a toy, either. I feel the integrity of the craftsmanship is up to snuff for the purpose, and is honest in its quality and presentation.Although there was no problem with the bowl, the seller seems to be easy to work with, and offered up front to be contacted if there were to be a problem. I’m confident that customer service is excellent. They seem to know their stuff, they care about their product, and they are involved in the mediation/healing community.I thought the price was fair, and I like that the instrument is sourced from local Nepalese people. Just good juju! If I feel I need another bowl, I shall consider the Ohm Store first. If you’re considering a bowl, but unsure which to choose, or unsure if you could work with the bowl, my experience with this bowl and this seller gives me the confidence to recommend them. I had never worked with a singing bowl before, but I had it singing in less than a minute. The bowl and seller are energetically very positive. Don’t hesitate.
