Singing bowl Thadobati

Semiphoras' high-quality, low-profile and heavy Thadobati singing bowls vibrate strongly. Their tone is clean, firm and clear. The long and controlled sound fades away smoothly. The bowls are hand-decorated with elaborate symbols and mantras.

A singing bowl or singing bowl is a Tibetan musical instrument that belongs to the idiophone class of instruments. Bronze bowls have been known in Nepal and Tibet since ancient times. Among Buddhist monks, lamas and nuns, singing bowls have been used as musical instruments during meditation and various ceremonies. However, the original, more precise purpose of the beautifully sounding singing bowls is still unclear. The bowls are made of a bronze alloy that contains at least copper and tin. Other metals, such as iron, silver, zinc or nickel (sometimes even gold) are found in small amounts in the alloy.

There are several different models of sound bowls. Thadobati bowls are among the oldest models and these simply beautiful bowls have been known since the 15th century. The Thadobati bowl can be recognized by its almost straight sides and flat bottom. The bowl is played by tapping the outer side lightly with a wooden stick. Alternatively, the bowl can be played by rotating the stick around the inner or outer edge of the bowl. Sound sticks are also available with different padding. In this case, the sound emanating from the bowl is also different. A felt pad or a small padded pillow is often placed under the bowl. Thadobati bowls are usually played by holding them in the hand. The softly vibrating semiphoras Thadobati singing bowls are suitable also excellent for playing in sound therapy over the chakras.
