Old smooth Manipuri with a consistent rich golden color. Song like soundscape where, unusually, the lowest tone is a strong presence however far into the sustain you listen. Longevity is outstanding, exceptional – the bowl has a rare level of projecting volume. Rim play is not as exciting as what you hear with a mallet, a bit of bass or group of overtones. Not a wand bowl. Rated exceptional for the sustain. With overtones at E5, , , .
