Each singing bowl is carefully hammered into the correct shape, going through various stages to achieve the right form and a pure tone. In this process, the different metals (copper, tin, iron, lead, gold, and silver) are first melted in a furnace, depending on what the final product requires (copper and tin = bronze) forming the main components for the bronze bowls, with very small percentages of the other metals for the seven-metal bowls. The molten metal is then removed from the furnace and cast into a mold, after which discs of various diameters and thicknesses are cut from it, which can then be further processed. Next, the discs are hand-hammered into the desired shape and size, after precise measurement and classification by weight. About five discs are first stacked and heated in the furnace until red-hot, after which they are individually hammered into a bowl shape using a mold. The skilled craftsmen can only do this when the metal is red-hot, because if it cools too much, it becomes brittle and cracks can form, rendering the bowl unusable.\u003cbr\u003eAfter the bowls have their rough shape, the fine finishing process begins. At this stage, each bowl gets its own shape and size, and again, a lot of fine hammering is involved, so the bowl must be reheated until red-hot to then get exactly the right shape and sound. After this, the bowls are individually sanded and polished inside and out, and possibly worked with chisels, for the finishing touch.\u003cbr\u003ePlease note: All our handmade singing bowls are sorted by weight. The stated diameter is intended as an initial indication, to give you an impression of the bowl's cross-section.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLove, Diney","brand":"Gemstones Art","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53427777798410,"sku":null,"price":159.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0944\/6395\/1114\/files\/f2920b84-af235bcc-7c21-4bae-816b-ecccd044af7e.jpg?v=1784926933","url":"https:\/\/gemstones-art.nl\/en\/products\/klankschaal-ohm-gravering-1550-gram-afmeting-22cm","provider":"Gemstones Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
