Choosing Between Singing Bowls Made from Metal or Crystal

 

People use singing bowls because they are proven to help with no only relaxation but with healing as well. Although, they are all unique and since they are all handmade none of them will be the same and they will come in many different shapes, sounds, and even types of bowls. If you are looking for your own singing bowl then the most important thing that you will need to take into account is the kind of material the bowl is made from. The usual materials that are used to make singing bowls is metal and crystal, they will both have their pros and cons and they both make their own unique sounds.

 

The most common type of singing bowl from SilverSkyImports.com is the bowl that is made from metal. These kinds of bowls have been used all over Asia for thousands of years and you can easily get your own legitimate singing bowl from an antique collector because these bowls are always for sale. Metal singing bowls have a very amazing ability to create more than one harmonic tone at the same time so basically is a band in one. The appearance of the singing bowl can vary widely and some will just look plain and simple while others will look extremely fancy. Also, one of the best parts of these singing bowls is the fact that because they are made out of metal they are extremely durable and you can take them anywhere without worrying that they will break on you like a crystal bowl would.

 

The other type of singing bowl is the Silver Skycrystal singing bowls and these are modern and they are typically made from quartz. These bowls can't make multiple tones like the metals bowls can but instead they can make one extreme loud note, per bowl so it is like having a drum set. People believe that certain sounds will produce certain effects so for people who are only looking for one effect and do not have the experience to get that note on a metal bowl can just simply get a crystal bowl tuned for that note. The appearance of crystal singing bowls are pretty simple because they will typically be frosted or just clear like glass, however if you want to feel especially unique you can get crystal singing bowls that are colored. Just be careful with these bowls because they are quite fragile and will break easily if you are not careful.
