Singing bowls Shanti gold-colored in different sizes

Our gold-colored Shanti singing bowls are available in different sizes, from 11-12 cm (300-400g) to 29-31 cm (approx. 2250-2500g). Each singing bowl is made by hand in Nepal and is therefore unique.

The singing bowls have an extended, wide shape and produce a special, long-lasting sound. To ensure each bowl meets the highest quality standards, they are carefully hammered or beaten by skilled artisans.

Our Shanti Singing Bowls come with a felt friction beater and make a perfect gift for meditation, yoga and relaxation. Discover now the unique world of sound of the Shanti singing bowls!

The production:

The production of an embossed or hand-beaten singing bowl is an extensive and artisanal process. Each individual singing bowl is carefully crafted by hand, which means the diameter may vary slightly.

First, the various raw metals (copper, tin, zinc, lead, iron, gold and silver) are melted in a furnace. The composition of the raw metals depends on which singing bowl is to be made (e.g. bronze made from copper and tin or a mixture of the seven different metals). The molten metal is poured to form a metal mold for different sizes and weights.

Then the round metal shapes are cut into round discs of the required size and thickness. After precise measurement and classification into weight and size, the discs are hand-beaten or hand-driven.

Four to five metal discs are then stacked on top of each other and then heated red hot. The red-hot metal discs are beaten by several excellent artisans until the metal is no longer red-hot. The metal discs are then reheated. This heating and beating process continues until the desired size and shape is achieved. Hand-beaten singing bowls are therefore individual and - considered relatively - different in size and diameter.

The metal can only ever be worked red hot, since it is then soft and malleable. As the metal cools, it loses its ductility and pliability and becomes brittle, which can render the singing bowl unusable. The reason for this intensive work process is that the metal content (bronze or the mixture of seven metals) is very sensitive to heat. It gets harder as the temperature drops and then cracks and cracks.

After completion of the shaping, the individual work begins. Now each singing bowl is shaped into its own unique shape and again this is done through a process of heating until the metal is red hot, followed by beating. The singing bowl is then struck for fine tuning. Finally, the singing bowls are smoothed and cleaned inside and out and possibly chiseled for a finishing touch.
