1. 8 Bowl Chakra set single strike |
2. 8 Bowl Chakra set played with four different mallets |
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 with some having intricate etching including one rare circle pattern bowl. and weighing over 2 pounds. All the bowls in the set are over 6 3/4 inches in diameter with the largest 8 1/8 inches. The bowls are between 1 1/2 and 2 1/2 pounds each..
All bowls are labeled with note and octave as well as our identifying number and a set sequence sticker for easy layout.
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.
