A Misleading Title and Lacking Content: A Review of 'The Singing Bowl Book My name is Frank Plate and in India they think, I am one of the largest singing bowl dealers in the world with over 30 years of experience in the field. From the mid-90ties to 2007 I have bought approximately 10,000 antique singing bowls and currently have over 1,000 bowls in stock, in Germany. The book in question is a charming work about old singing bowls, yet the title 'The Singing Bowl Book' is somewhat misplaced as it lacks a lot of content. If the author had specified 'antique singing bowls' in the title, I would have rated the content highly. It's clear that he's making a visible effort to sell a bowl collection. Due to the scarcity of these items, apart from him and myself, few others stock large quantities of old bowls. The author's knowledge seems limited to Nepal. He seems unaware that many old singing bowls originate from across the Indian subcontinent. His analysis of the bowls' use in India is lacking, and he doesn't delve into the diverse regional contexts or cultural applications of the bowls. My wife and I have published successful books on singing bowls in the German-speaking market. For a title like 'The Singing Bowl Book', it lacks around 1000 pages of information, particularly on therapeutic, meditative, and self-development applications. However, he does display good knowledge about old singing bowls and I was able to learn from it. Overall, given the broad title, it would have been beneficial if the author provided more information on singing bowls.

The only place to buy quality antique singing bowls! I love buying my Himalayan bowls from The Singing Bowl Museum! The website is very easy to use, providing pictures, information about the specific bowl, and recordings of every bowl. The recordings are excellent! The bowls are shipped out very quickly and are always well-packed. And the bowls themselves are AMAZING, not only for the wonderful sound, but they have a sacred, magical feel to them.

Superb instruments Superb instruments. Some of the very finest you will find anywhere in the world. This is a remarkable collection, truly impressive.

A great establishment to purchase from! I recently purchased a 10.25 inch bowl in E, and received it very quickly! Ordered 1/28 and delivered 2/3. The bowl is lovely, deep and resonant, and before shipping Joseph was kind enough to reach out and make certain that I knew everything about the item to make an informed purchase, which is very appreciated. It was safely packaged, and arrived with both a felt mallet and leather striker, as well as a very pretty embroidered silk ring cushion to rest the bowl on. All three of those items were unexpected and a great surprise! I will be purchasing more bowls in the future, and will definitely purchase from the Singing Bowl Museum again.

Wonderful singing bowls Wonderful singing bowls of early vintage, my first of this age. The bowls and I together are learning simplicity within complexity. May peace and kindnesss follow every strike of these three bowls!
