To assemble a set like this start with tens of thousands of bowls. Cull out the best 5% or so. Ship the bowls to California. Take the bowls and lay them out by tone and by type. Then start playing them listening for relationships. Eventually assemble groups of bowls. Lay them out like strings of pearls, low to high, clusters close to the same frequency, meditative tone sequences. Make sure there are some extremely high end bowls anchoring the sound in places, be cognizant to include the full range of sub-styles for each bowl type. Then go off weigh, measure and label.
3 Large Jambati style bowls in the second octave — Bass tones to start the set
15 Manipuri style – third and 4th octave – one single tone sequence
25 Thadobati style – third octave to 5th octave – one single tone sequence
7 Large Mani style bowls in the fifth octave – one single tone sequence – high tones to finish the set
All the bowls are high quality pieces. It contains rare and unusual bowls with interesting features, old bowls 16th to 20th century.
The set is priced at $250 a bowl. Individually priced the bowls would be much higher. There are a lot of big bowls in this set.
The labeling is really helpful, makes it easy to lay the bowls out and associate them. The set comes with full statistics for each bowl, same as all the individual bowls on this website.
This set will be custom assembled. The photos are of a previous set that has been sold.
