Antique Tibetan singing bowls like this one are highly sought after for their remarkable quality sound, rich tones, and unique physical characteristics. Our old Tibetan singing bowls are hand-picked by a stunning and superior collection of antique bowls from Kathmandu. These bowls are one-of-a-kind with gorgeous signs of age and wear that show and sing beautifully.
1. The antique singing bowls are made of a bronze alloy (bell metal bronze), whereas some newer bowls are made from brass.
2. The old bowls were all handmade by expert craftsmen and are distinctively different from the new bowls. Some newer bowls are still handmade by artisans in the Himalayas using the old ways and materials, but others are machine-manufactured and/or made of brass instead of bell metal bronze.
3. The antique bowls have a better tone. Some people believe this is due to the aging process, which mellows the tone.
