Tibetan Fountain Bowl

The fountain effect occurs because when a bowl is played, the walls of the bowl vibrate. You can feel this vibration when you play the bowl normally. It is this vibration that causes the water to bubble up, creating the thousands of tiny "fountains.

@Arwyroe We built an orbiting research space station. Modern Times win

also, the "fountains" are actually drops of water shaken loose of the surface from the side of the bowl, which are then launched off of the resonating water's surface as the water comes up at an anti-node, it's kind of like throwing ping-pong balls on a field full of jackhammers(yea, what an awesome analogy... can't really think of a better one though)

@ecarne1 actually, any bowl that produces sound like this CAN be a fountain bowl, it just depends on if the right amount of water is in the bowl.

as you might know, the bowl's sound is caused by vibrations, and it's frequency depends on the amount of water inside the bowl.

the bowl WILL function as a fountain bowl if the frequency of the bowl itself is in phase with the water's own harmonic frequency or one of it's overtones, because that causes resonance between the bowl and the water

@mookyan2000 I received my first singing bowl in 1971 so I've learnt a fair bit in almost 40 years. The Talking Bowl I have was brought over by H.H. Dilgo Khyntse Rinpoche - a very wise man who gave so many valuable teachings. I'd have thought that the first step to wisdom is to put aside the lower mind. You should try it some time and take a rest from that ego-driven arrogant, disparaging, and destructive form of creativity that you go in for. That holier-than-thou sanctimoniousness. Judge not.

@mookyan2000 Ah, so now we get down to it! Jealousy. The first step to wisdom may indeed lie in admitting that one doesn't know everything. The next step is to find someone who does, it's obvious that this doesn't apply to you. You have misapprehended me. I don't relate to the road you insist I am on. I can say without fear of equivocation that you do not own a Talking Bowl - you may own what Americans call a Talking Bowl but that is not it. You own what we call a Jump Bowl.

@mountainbellmusic  The first step to wisdom is to admit that you don't know everything but, it's obvious that this doesn't apply to you. You won't stop until you prove to the whole world that you're the singing bowl, Himalayan bowl, Indian singing bowl or even middle eastern singing bowl KING!!!!!!

@ecarne1 Actually I initiated this term back in 1980s basing it upon the Chinese Fountain Bowl which, as you doubtless know, is a specific design but nevertheless it has markings for how much water to fill in order to get the right effect. It is a beautiful effect similar to Water Sound Images and Cymatics. That was when I got the first bowl for this effect and it seemed natural to give it this title. Namaste. Thank you for your kind words.
