Martin Bläse Brass Sound Bowl 5.25" x 2.25" 12oz Chakapas and Rattles The quartz crystal tubular chimeMartin Blse sound bowls are unique in generating dual tonestwo frequencies separated by less than 10 Hertz. This close proximity causes interference patterns that produce a captivating vibrato or shimmering effect. When this phenomenon occurs, only one of the fundamental tones in the singing bowl is accurately tuned. Martin Blse cold forges all his bowls.
