DharmaObjectsYoga Meditation 6 Inches OM Mantra Singing Bowl/Pad/Mallet Gift Set (Black)

Bought this as Christmas gift for my niece who loved it. Opened package to test before wrapping which was well protected and packaged neatly. Very pretty bowl that hardly takes any effort at all to make "sing". It resonates as long as you want it to by continued rubbing. Quite loud and clear too; if you need the sound to carry for a group meditation. Otherwise, loudness can be toned down. The bowl is a nice size and will sing either while holding in your hand or on the provided mat.I actually bought 2 bowls and returned the second because there really is no comparison between the two for a Beginner's ease of use. The second bowl was the "6" Superb B Crown Chakra Old Tibetan Singing Bowl". The bowl and wooden stick were packed loose and the wooden stick was missing the protective cover. With practice, was able to get it to sing, but I really thought the DharmaObjects bowl was more attractive and liked the tone better.

I am happy with my purchase. I've played it several times and it is very easy to play. I love the deep purple color and everything is exactly as pictured. DharmaObjects actually shipped my items much faster than Amazon shipped items. I ordered items to be shipped by Amazon at the same time as this bowl and Amazon hasn't even shipped my items yet. I am looking forward to ordering from DharmaObjects again!

The picture doesn't do it justice, but what impressed me most is how it doesn't take much force or finesse to get beautiful & long resonance from this. It radiates for a long time & has the perfect dimensions. The cushion is beautiful too. This is great on a table top or being held in a hand while using. It was packaged well too. The quality is much better than those I've seen in gift shops.

Beautiful bowl, only downside is that the bowl i did recive was not as pictured. The wood mallet had no pading so it just scraped the bowl insted of sang. But, we did DIY it! We took leather cording and wraped it tightly around part of the mallet and now it works wonders!! Very easy to make sing and a good begginer bowl! Last thing I would like to mention is that the bowl I recived was not the same as pictured but, infact better (Visually).

I didn't think I would like it but I am amazed at the quality of sound it produces. Very easy to use. Highly recommend.

I absolutely love this singing bowl. I bought it as a gift for a friend as a house warming present. It “sings” beautifully and the color (I bought the green) was so pretty! I highly recommend! :)

This was quite a great surprise! I expected to get this piece to perform more as a decorative piece, but this made sound beautifully! I will be purchasing more of these for personal use as well as in my yoga classes!If you know you or someone you know are just getting into sound healing or singing bowls, this is a great starter kit for a decent price!

I purchased this as a gift for my mother, who uses them in her yoga and meditation classes and wanted one for home use. The bowl looks great and came well packaged. It's larger and deeper than most of the signing bowls in this price range. The tones it produces are very nice, and it seemed pretty easy for her to make it sing right out of the box. Would definitely recommend this as a beginner singing bowl at least!
