Note: Our Singing Bowls come direct from Nepalese collectors, NOT shops. You will not find these bowls in the myriad of bowl stalls in Kathmandu.

This is a simple sales gimmick, and marketing tool invented in the West. These bowls are sourced and authenticated by someone who has been researching them for 45 years to insure honesty and integrity (no one in North America has been studying them this long, you can check this fact yourself).

Finding very small one's are a challenge, because one needs a small easy to hold bowl. Last year one of our 'scouts' combed the Himalayas and brought back a small collection of genuine antiques we could offer to Sound Therapists. Email for pricing.
