Smooth Thadobati with chocolate brown patina and faint hammermarks. Intense penetrating soundscape, this bowl puts out a huge amount of sound right at the beginning. The tones are steady which gives them their power. Longevity is only fair, rather than spread this sound out over time this bowl sends it out all at once. Great rim play. Easy power on the bass with leather, smooth power on overtones with simple wood (first) and wand (second). With overtones at D#6, C#7.
