I've had this bowl for a year now, and I must say it has brought true joy into my life. I'm a Reiki Master/Teacher and I use this bowl while giving Reiki treatments. It's tone is angelic, and blissful. Note Regarding Previous comment on this bowl: Sometimes I notice if I allow others to use the bowl it will not sing for them, when I first got it, I had to work with the bowl, and "make it my own"....once I did, it played amazingly. Perhaps putting your energy into the bowl will bring out more sound. This is an excellent addition to any space in your home or home office.

I purchased 7 of these unique bowls as the main Christmas gift for each of our 6 adult children, and one for me. They were received in a very timely manner and in fantastic condition. There are only two things I would recommend a change on: one is the sticker "Handmade in Nepal" should be placed on the outside bottom of the bowl instead of the rim. I was afraid to use too strong of a chemical to remove it thinking it would affect the finish of the bowl, but the placement of the sticker affected the tone. The second item would be simple directions on how to operate the bowl. I went online and downloaded some instructions with pictures to enclose in the boxes for the kids. I did get my bowl to sing. It took some time and experimentation, but I did it. Very proud of myself. I'm now thinking of purchasing more bowls for extended family members and friends. If you're looking for something unique, handmade, and from another culture, try Nepal's Singing Bowls!

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this item. The bowl is as described and has a pleasant tone. I wonder whether those who have given it negative reviews really know how to make it "sing".

i have never been unhappy about anything i have ordered from ostock - the items are exactly as described - the singing bowl was great quality and i love it

My wife dropped a not-so-subtle hint she wanted a singing bowl; I played oblivious and went on the hunt for the perfect bowl. I did a lot of research and finally settled on this bowl after looking at at least a hundred others. My wife loves it! It has a deep, meditative tone and quality heft. Beautiful colors and overall we are very pleased with the purchase. Note: singing bowls work by running the wood around the outside of the bowl, maintain consistent pressure and the tone will build.

I bought this for my brother for Christmas and it is WONDERFUL!! I would love to own one for myself and another guest at the party has already requested one. This has a beautiful sound (once we figured out how to do it properly) and is lovely. The design on the bowl is a lot darker than what is in the picture but I like it better! You won't be disappointed in this. Love it!

This has a wonderful sound and I love it! The sound is OM......

I love this singing bowl. The tone is clear and calming.

I'm no musician but I have always loved the singing bowls music that I've heard, but if this bowl sings it's news to me. It doesn't come with directions, and my trying on my own was not successful at all. It's not very attractive--okay I guess but nothing that I would have bought if I had seen and tried it in a store. I coulda shoulda sent it back.

It's a nice bowl, but the tone is somewhat not as clear as others I've bought..Still nice though..For the price, I expected it to be a bit larger...

The product has two benchmarks, appearance and tone. It is a fine-looking, though simple bowl in terms of decoration, and posesses a fine tone. I paid $30 all-inclusive, to have it shipped to my house. Much cheaper than others I have seen locally and on the Internet.

my daughter learned of the singing bowl in Second grade and asked for one for Christmas. She has brought it to school because it is both attractive, and works well.

The etching and color of the bowl are both aesthetically very pleasing. It doesn't take much skill to strike it and get a wonderful sound that reverberates throughout a room. However, the stand works against this and one should buy a traditional singing bowl pillow on which to rest it. The stand is useless and does not add to the utility nor the aesthetics of the bowl. I would buy another one of these bowls.

I am over the moon with the Singing Bowl it is exactly as advertised. The tone of the bowl is absolutely beautiful. The vibration in the palm of the hand was a surprise and the energy delightful. I purchased the bowl for a dear friend and am saving to buy one for myself. The communication with the seller was also excellent and delivery very expedient. I have and will recommend this singing bowl to all my friends in Australia. Thank you Blessings Hera

There are a few comments that others have posted in regards to the size of the singing bowl. While they are correct at calling it small, I wouldn't go so far as to calling it an ashtray. I bought this product for my partner and felt it was too good to be true. He actually really, really likes it. It has a great sound, you just have to know how to use a singing bowl. Overall, I would totally suggest that others purchase this product... Realistically, it's not too bad when you consider the prices of crystal singing bowls.
