The Tibetan Wool Mats that Ryan offers are amazing! The 12" size fits my large 11" diameter bowl perfectly. Not only is the backstory of these mats special, but the quality is truly incredible - they’re so soft and luxurious, with vibrant, rich colors.
I loved the first one I received so much that I came back to order a few more to use for my crystals and grids :) Ryan is a pleasure to work with, and I’m so grateful to have found these beautiful pieces to add to my home.

I am pleased, thrilled with the bowls I have purchased from you. Your web site includes all the information one needs to find a perfect match; good images, detailed descriptions and especially the high quality audio samples of each bowl. These accurate sound recordings are what connected me to each bowl I purchased.
Thank you!

As a connoisseur of quality antique singing bowls, I have purchased several from this site over the last several years. The quality of the unique sound of the bowls is accurately portrayed in the description and the beauty of the ageing of these bowls connects me to those who have heard them in the past. Customer service is prompt and very helpful. Every purchase has been a good experience!

I had a fantastic experience purchasing three singing bowls from Ryan. I initially chose a few based on the detailed sound files online, then reached out for help selecting a set that would harmonize together (and even work with my wooden tongue drum).
Ryan was incredibly generous with his time, guiding me through bowl and mallet choices and offering helpful playing tips. His expertise is clear (he’s played over 40,000 bowls!), and I really appreciated the care he put into curating the set.
One of my bowls is estimated to be around 200 years old, which makes them feel even more special. I’ll treasure them for years to come. 10/10 recommend supporting a small business and purchasing your bowls from Ryan :)

Ryan was amazing to work with. His help with me choosing new (old) bowls made the process easy. I felt confident in his selection and his customer service is genuine and real. Shipping was fast and efficient...had my new bowls by the weekend! Ryan is my only trusted choice for authentic singing bowls and the only one I will recommend to colleagues.

I've bought several bowls from Ryan / Best Singing Bowls recently, both selections from the website inventory and special requests for specific notes and bowl types. I've found the descriptions of the bowls to be comprehensive and accurate, and the sound files are high fidelity so you can confidently match new bowls to an existing set. The web tools are great for searching the huge inventory, and Ryan is quick to respond to any questions / requests. I appreciate the mallet recommendations for each bowl, and the mallets themselves are high quality. Ryan is great to work with - I'm thrilled with all of my bowls, and am glad that this business exists to make these amazing antiques available.

I’ve been enjoying the wonderful waves and good vibrations from an earlier acquisition of an incredible Thadobati Singing Bowl, and after a while it seemed like time to add a new harmonious buddy! Best Singing Bowls' excellent website allowed me to experiment with hearing their bowl offerings together with the one I had while while playing along. Now I've got a fine new highly resonant bronze Thadobati Singing Bowl gracing my home. Thank you for making all this possible!

Ryan has been an absolute star at every stage of the journey to find my first singing bowl, and specifically one that truly felt right for me. I can’t thank him enough for going the extra mile to guide me forwards so graciously as I would have given up had it not been for his help.
The details on the website and sound clips of each bowl are superb but I wasn’t sure exactly what I was looking for. Ryan’s input led me to clarity and I loved the bowl as soon as I opened the package! It’s already an integral part of my spiritual practice and I will treasure it always.
I feel honoured to be the next keeper of a bowl that’s been used for so many years in meditation, ritual and more. The sound has an ancient yet timeless quality about it, and what feels to me like a sacred lineage. What a blessing for such bowls to be cared for and made available by Ryan and Best Singing Bowls. Highly recommended!

Amazing experience! The bell (singing bowl) that we bought exceeded all expectations. Exquisite sound! Ryan's website was very helpful for examinging the bells; images and recordings of each bell helped me experience each bell. We were looking for a bell to be a memorial item for a sangha member who recently passed. Ryan was also super helpful in selecting the accessories. The whole experience was personally very fulfilling. I expect I may buy a bell for myself at some point in the future.

Placed an order through the online store. Had the owner, Ryan, directly reach out and chat over the phone to answer questions and arrange shipping details. The bowl arrived as numbered and photographed on the site. The online audio of the bowl and how it sounds is uncanny and a perfect match. Appreciated the rare, and unexpected direct outreach rarely seen these days when ordering online. Encourage anyone interested in what they might see on his site to reach out and ask questions. Will purchase from again, no doubt.
