Gorgeous black painted Jambati with a broad inner facing rim and prominent artwork. The artwork is elaborate, especially the etching around the rim. This is one old looking bowl. Alto soundscape the deeply pulsing notes, very high for such a large bowl. The fundamental tone bounces and the next note sings. The bowl can be played for the bass or played to give the overtone more of a role. The first 30 seconds of the recording is more overtone centric, I’ve included a second strike to give a flavor of leaving it out. The most bass centric to play it is with the L1 mallet. The rim is all about the fundamental tone. It comes up with solid volume with leather. The dark patina makes of a good grip. Non need for wood. With overtone at E. Perfect A3 (432 Hz Scale) – 216 Hz.
