Thomann Tibetan Zen Singing Bowl 2000g

I like this bowl. It was smaller diameter than I was expecting ( and just under 2kg), with a higher pitch than I was expecting too - much higher than the sample clip) . Still I got a nice C3 @132hz, so am happy with that.

It's well made, though the lacquer is particularly poorly applied. I got this at the same time as a Peter Hess phKS9-G which was nearly the same size and pitch, but half the weight. I ultimately preferred the sound of the heavier Thomann bowl, so and sending the PH back.

If you want a lower note, I'd suggest the 2300g thomann or better still the 3kg - which goes much lower. I think I will get a 2300 as well as I already have the 3kg as it should sit well between this 2kg.

The bundled rubbing mallet is a bit rubbish. Definitely make sure you have some alternatives. It sounds particularly good with a large gong mallet.
