An example of a good Singing Bowl in the 2kg range

http://stores.ebay.com/myhouse-imports
2.06 kg - 12⅜"diameter - 5¾" depth. This bowl has a great number of voices and gong/bell notes available. It is very finely crafted, with a full rounded shape and a special reinforced lip which is folded over for an inch or so.

Excellent! I'm not sure this one really "resonates" with me, but I would really enjoy seeing more mid- to xl-sized bowls.

Yes I know what you mean.  I will have a look for you and see what I can come up with...

You are so kind to share your expertise on these Singing Bowls with the YouTube audience.

So be kind to yourself as well, this day indeed.

Peace, Love and Light from New York City.

Hey, oneness, thanks for the kind words. I like to think of my singing bowsl sounding loud enough to be heard in New York. Tony

Thank-you for your question; it is a good one. Yes this is definitely not the 'normal' look for a typical hand-hammered Himalayan singing bowl.

But I am sure they are authentic, and traditional - just confined to a fairly small village area. I have seen this shape used as cooking pots.

This one has not been used in a fire, but it may be that this shape is meant to invoke the shape of a cooking pot - in the sense of an offering bowl, maybe to offer food at a ceremony.
