Description
BOWL TYPE: MANIPURI
The bowls MANIPURI are saucer-shaped, with small bases, low, slightly curved rims that open out like a flower. They can be thick or thin. With completely smooth surfaces, both inside and out. It is quite common for them to be marked with beautiful lines and/or patterns of small circles with dots, both on the inner base and on their inner and outer edges. Sometimes the edges may also be thicker, triangular inwards, with fine lines, dots or circles engraved on the surface of the rim.
The sizes that can be found range from very small to medium. There are some larger and heavier ones but they are rare. In general, it is becoming increasingly difficult to find good quality MANIPURI bowls.
Small bowls, having a small base, tend to be unstable. For this reason, it is necessary to rest them on the fingers of the hand to play them with a drumstick, with or without leather.
Their sounds are expansive. Depending on their volume or vibrational capacity, they are more suitable for concerts, sound baths and for subtle work in therapies, where they are usually placed on specific parts of the body (hands, head, chakras).

WE SEND YOU WHAT YOU HAVE CHOSEN
- At Jacomina Sounds we do our best to present all singing bowls on our website with their original sounds, without manipulations. However, as the bowls have a wide range of overtones, there might be some differences between the recordings and the real thing. Then you will surely be surprised that they sound even better live!
- All our bowls have passed rigorous authenticity tests on age, harmonic balance, smoothness of sound reproduction and duration of sound.
- In order to ensure that the bowls maintain their quality, we have given them our special cleaning and optimisation treatment, https://jacominasounds.com/restauración-y-conservacion/, which includes protection against future oxidation and the transmission of heavy metals into the body.A unique and exclusive service in the world!
