In Buddhist practice, singing bowls are used as a support for meditation, trance induction, and prayer. You can also use them for sound healing and other thnings too.
 
There are all sorts of cheaper bowls out there in all kinds of colours and patterns but they don't al sound that good. The selection I have are all tried and tested by me. I don't sell anything that I would not use myself.
 
This is a machine made bowl and a good size and sound for the price and yes, it does sound loud. A nice one for yourself or would make a great gift.
