Thadobati

Thadobati with their tall straight sides and flat bottoms are the most popular style of singing bowl. By virtue of their shape they have the largest sweet spot and are the easiest to play. Thadobati cover a wide range of tones, 3 ½ octaves, with the highest frequencies topping 1000 Hz. They range in size from 3 to 8 inches across. Small thinner ones can weigh under half a pound while the largest ones can top 3 Lbs. the oldest examples can be extremely thick. Artwork can be elaborate with patterns made from small punched circles and artistic rims.

Navigation Tips

To help you navigate our huge selection of antique singing bowls we have provided a wide range of filters by which you can focus in on just the characteristics you are looking for, These range from broad categories like bowl type – Jambati, Manipuri etc. – to fine details like thickness.

Our special technology allows you to play more than one sound clip at a time so you can hear how a group of bowls sound together.

The sort feature lets you arrange bowls by tone so you can hear your selections played in sequence. Finally you can create a list of bowls with the compare feature and email yourself a list that we will also get to see.
