How Many Bowls?
One Bowl
If you want one bowl to start with I always recommend the 14 inch, pitch A, frosted crystal singing bowl for these 3 reasons:
- It is an easy pitch to vocalise with (A below middle C on the piano - A3)
- It's not too high-pitched - most people prefer a lower pitch compared to high.
- It's not too big - the larger bowls are heavier and more expensive
It is the middle sized, middle pitched bowl! It's JUST RIGHT!
Small Set
If you want to start facilitating sound journeys, I recommend you start with 4 bowls. Here are the sizes and pitches I have recommended the most in the past.
16 inch, pitch F
14 inch, pitch A
14 inch, pitch G#
12 inch, pitch C
These pitches cover the "major/happy" sound, the "minor/melancholy" sound and the "wah wah wah, binaural beat" sound. Lots to play with!
I can always come up with a different combination to suit your budget and preferences. Just contact me.
Chakra Set
Many people have asked me about the chakra set. Here is my opinion!
Yes, I sell it.
No, I don't think it's necessary to have 7 bowls for each chakra in order to create a "healing" experience for others.
I feel that the chakra set bowls are too high-pitched (12 inch C3 - 6 inch B3) which aren't as relaxing as the lower-pitched bowls (below 12 inch, pitch C3).
I believe that the healing aspect of "sound healing" doesn't rely heavily on the pitches. Rather, it's the manner in which the instruments are played—including transitions, musical elements, and harmonies—and the player's intention and awareness that truly matter.
I believe that if you are into chakras, it is more beneficial to use your voice and tone the corresponding vowels sounds. You can learn more about these sounds if you download Jonathon Goldman's free 7 chakra tune up HERE!
You can also just have one bowl and just focus on each chakra's colour and area in the body. No need for seven bowls. But I understand if you want seven too because they look pretty together! But I feel that the main reason why people go for the chakra set is because they don't know what else to choose ... which is why I'm here!
