Molto efficace. Suono magnifico

I fretted for days over which singing bowl to buy from Amazon as the consensus is that most are cheaply made and mass-produced in a 3rd-world country. In YT review videos, Silent Mind came up as a somewhat "higher quality" version of these small metal singing bowls. I'm glad I went with Silent Mind as they are indeed a step above the others, just keep in mind that it's probably still somewhat mass-produced. An included card stated that they were handcrafted in Tibet, but I make no presumptions that they're made in a remote village high up in the Himalayans by generationally-skilled craftsman, and you shouldn't either. If they're actually made in Tibet as the card says, they're probably made in a factory in a large city. Regardless these bowls are still nice and sound great! The bowl is heavy for its size, the ringer is solid wood with a thin leather-like cover on one end. My ringer had an indent in the wood from being pressed against the edge of the bowl during shipping, but it still works fine. The pillow is decorative and functional, although don't expect the fabric's pattern to be centered, mine wasn't. The incriptions on and in the bowl are exotic-looking, I just hope they don't translate to "ding-dong rings the tiny bowl of this western ding dong"–I'll pretend the inscriptions speak of peace & mindfulness through love & harmony & yadda, yadda yadda.... As for using the bowl's sound, I was able to make it sing immediately on my first try. Just take your time with slow strokes around the rim after first hitting the edge to make it vibrate (ring). The Silent Mind website has a few instructional videos if you can't figure it out (the website link is on an included card). I can literally make this little bowl sing extremely loud, to the extent that it mimics the weekly testing of my neighborhood's tornado warning siren. It's amazing how much sound can come from this little bowl! I'm very satisfied with this bowl, it works well, is well-made and was still somewhat inexpensive. I should note though, if you're sending this as a gift to someone, it did not come in its own box–it was simply tightly wrapped in bubble wrap and tape. Just keep this in mind if you're gifting one during the holidays. Enjoy your bowl, you western ding dong!

Mostly decorative but fun to pick up and ding- Can hear throughout our apartment. Excellent quality and happy customer ❤️

Terrible. It didn’t sing at all. I was very disappointed and embarrassed as it was a gift. I have 3 bowls of my own which sing beautifully. Myself and 2 others tried to get it to sing but we couldn’t. I emailed the seller but had no response.

This was my first purchase of a singing bowl, so other than what I had seen on a few videos, I felt confident that there would be no surprises when the package arrived. But this review is not just about the singing bowl, it's about Silent Mind. Even before my purchase arrived, I was sent emailed by Silent Mind, thanking me for my purchase and letting me know that should I be dissatisfied in any way, to let them know immediately. They were also curious as to what my intentions were with the bowl, not pushy, just wanting to know in case I needed assistance. So my first impression was this email, we were off to a great start. The singing bowl arrived and it was more than I had hoped for. The quality, the sound, the look, it was everything I had hoped it would be, and more. It took a few tried to get the hang of it, but the sound is mesmerizing and quite loud, if you want it to be. Surprising for a bowl this size. So wonderful that it fits right into the palm of my hand, to feel the vibration of the tone in my hand and arm, is quite something. Just feeling the energy was delightful. Even the pillow appears to be of high quality. I honestly cannot say enough about this piece. It was packed neatly and securely, with detailed instructions and best of all, a heart felt note of thanks. Just beautifully written and greatly appreciated. Then to top it all off, I received another email to ensure I had received the order and if everything was to my satisfaction. I couldn't get over how caring this company was, very rare in this day and age. I felt as if they truly appreciated my business and that I was able to use the bowl to its full potential. I waited a few weeks to write this review, as I received what appeared to be quality products in the past, that I loved and wrote a positive review immediately, only to have that product fall apart or break, days later. But I can say without a doubt, the bowl is singing as beautifully as it did the day I received it and I am still in awe of how well Silent Mind handled this transaction from start to finish and then beyond. Exceptional product and service! Many thanks and peace be with all of you. Rob, Ottawa Canada
