One of the most common frameworks for chakra sets is to have whole notes spanning one octave.   The 7 chakra sequence is C D E F G A B.  Some teachers like to add the first note of the next octave for 8 notes C D E F G A B C.

All the antique singing bowls in this chakra set have been selected for superior internal harmony.  All bowls are Thadobati style for consistency in timbre and ease of play.  A lot of care has been taken to make sure the tones go well together. This is not as simple as picking notes because notes alone do not guarantee a smooth flow of sound up and down. Overtones and timbre play an important part.  These carefully selected antique singing bowls all blend together for a wonderful total sound.

Included in this set are some exceptional bowls, with premium quality sound. There is a mix of Thadobati sub-styles including bowls adorned with intricate etching and weighing over 2 pounds.  All the bowls in the set are over 6 3/4 inches in diameter.

All bowls are labeled with note and octave as well as our identifying number.

The chakra set spans the third octave with the optional 8th note being a fourth octave C. The higher bowl will be a thick large old one to match the others in the set. Add the 8th bowl to the set for $285.

You can internally expand this set by adding sharp notes for a total of 12 in the 3rd octave. This progression would be C C# D D# E F F# G G# A A# B.  The full 13 bowl set would include the C4. Additional bowls are $285 each.

For additional bowls please add a note to your order or contact us.

About the recordings:

The first sound clip is seven 3rd octave bowls struck once with a Best Singing Bowls precision large size low tone mallet (L 4).  With this mallet you hear the center of the soundscape for the bowls. The second recording is multiple taps of all 8 bowls with the full series of large Best Singing Bowls precision mallets starting with the very low L 2 then low L 4 medium L 6 and finally the high L 8. This gives you a feel for the different moods the bowls  are capable of.
