These special price bowls have been hand selected for the quality of their sound. They are comparable to what you will see on the website for $175-$225. I’ve chosen these genuine antiques on one of my buying trips to Asia. What you will receive is a good sounding bowl with the kind of color, shape and markings characteristic of the style. Specials are great for gifts and nice way to get a collection started .
The difference between a $159.95 bowl and one you will see on the website for $200 is not the bowl itself but the effort expended on it. There is no need to make recordings, write a description, take a photo and post it to the web or manage inventory. These bowls are part of the backstock used for special requests and set assembly. Another difference is that the bowls on the special span an narrower range of tones as the extreme highs and especially the lows are relatively rare. Special bowls won’t have features like inscriptions, extensive markings and other characteristics of more expensive bowls.
You will get full information on the bowl. Each is individually numbered with weight, dimensions, note, octave and frequency appearing in the invoice.This way later on if you wish to build on your collection we have the data needed to match or compliment what you already have.
If you purchase more than one bowl we can make sure they play well together.
You can use the comments section in the shopping cart to request a Manipuri bowl. The default bowl is Thadobati style.
