The bowl has a very special, long-lasting sound with beautiful overtones. The bowl edge is quite thin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Sticks must be ordered separately.\u003cbr\u003e The stated diameter is indicative and may vary.\u003cbr\u003e Handmade singing bowl, made of copper, tin and eight precious metals (Ag, Ni, Cd, Ru, Pd, Pt, Cr, Mn).\u003cbr\u003e Comes randomly engraved or without engraving around the top edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e Forged sound bowls \u003cbr\u003eForged or hand-hammered sound bowls are made entirely by hand hammering. Each sound bowl is carefully forged by hand, requiring several processes to be finished and shaped into a perfect hand-forged sound bowl. In the manufacturing process, different metal compositions, such as raw materials (copper, tin, zinc, iron, lead, gold and silver), are melted in a furnace, depending on the manufacturing needs, for example, to make a bronze sound bowl or a seven-metal sound bowl. The hot molten metal is removed from the furnace and poured into a mold to make a metal mold for different sizes and weights. The round metal molds are then cut into metal sheets of the required size and thickness. The sheets are then forged or hammered by hand according to precise measurements and weight classes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eIn the hand hammering process for making sound bowls, 4-5 metal sheets are stacked on top of each other and heated to a red-hot state. The hot metal sheets are hammered by a team of skilled craftsmen until the metal remains hot, and then heated again to continue the hammering process. This process of heating and hammering the metal sheets continues until the desired shape and size is formed. (This is why forged sound bowls vary in size and diameter.) When hammering the metal sheets, they can only be hammered when they are red-hot, as this is when the metal is soft and flexible. As the metal cools, it loses its softness and flexibility, which in turn makes the metal brittle and the bowl can break. This labor-intensive process is due to the fact that the metal content (bronze or an alloy of seven metals) is very sensitive to heat and hardens upon cooling, which can lead to cracks and breakage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eOnce the desired bowl design is complete, the individual work begins. At this stage, each bowl is shaped to a uniform shape and size, and this can only be done by reheating and hammering. After the shape and size are finalized, a more refined hammering process is performed to finalize the bowl's tuning and design. The individual bowls are engraved and polished for finishing, both inside and out.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Tarotpuoti Import","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46479884157271,"sku":"NE0267\/25","price":225.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0613\/6735\/3557\/files\/Tarotpuoti_Samadhi_750-875g_20_cm_aanimalja_0267_15.png?v=1788962439","url":"https:\/\/terotpuoti.com\/en\/products\/kopio-samadhi-1500-2000g-aanimalja-kehomalja","provider":"Tarotpuoti","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
