Brushed Brass Singing Bowl, Large, 17cm

Product Overview

A 17cm brass singing bowl with a softly brushed surface and a clean, unadorned shape. It stands 7.5cm high. Tapped, it gives a low D3 at 146Hz; played round the rim it rises an octave to D4 at 293Hz, so strike and song share the same note. The plain brushed finish looks at home on a modern shelf as much as a meditation corner.

Why You'll Love It

• Strike and singing tones an octave apart, D3 (146Hz) and D4 (293Hz)
• Softly brushed brass rather than a high polish, so fingerprints show less
• 17cm wide and 7.5cm high, a full-size bowl for floor or table
• A simple, unengraved form that suits modern interiors
• Works on its own or as the low voice in a set

An Auro & Co Moment

Your laptop's closed, the radio's off. You tap the bowl once and hear the low D, then circle the rim until the higher D sits on top of it. It's a small marker between the work day and the evening.

A cushion keeps the base from buzzing, and a suede striker suits brass well.

FAQ

Does it come with a striker or cushion?
The bowl is sold on its own. A suede striker and a cushion from our singing bowls collection complete it.

Is brass different from bell metal?
Yes. Brass is an alloy of copper and zinc, while bell metal is copper and tin. Brass bowls often have a slightly brighter character.

What does an octave apart mean here?
Both tones are D: the singing tone (D4, 293Hz) is roughly double the frequency of the striking tone (D3, 146Hz), so the two blend rather than clash.

How do I care for the brushed finish?
Wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Polish would change the brushed surface, so skip it.
