My singing bowl collection has grown into a set of instruments that each carry their own voice, personality, and story. In this section, I’ll introduce the bowls I use, how they sound, how they behave, and what makes each one special. By sharing their qualities and quirks, I hope to offer a clearer sense of how diverse singing bowls can be and how each contributes something unique to my practice. There is information missing from this list, over time I plan to document during my experiments, and share it here; return soon for updates with more details and frequency recordings.
