Characteristics of Tibet Import Tibetan Bowls
-
There are different grades of bowls; the “7 Metals” denomination represents the highest quality.
At Tibet Import, we have conducted a composition analysis (see analysis). -
Composition of high-quality 7-metal Tibetan bowls:
-
Copper (85%) is the main element, responsible for the vibration, giving the sound depth, sustain, and intensity.
-
Tin (15%) provides strength and solidity.
-
The remaining trace elements (less than 1%), such as iron, contribute to tonal richness.
-
-
Our Tibetan Bowls are made with a significant wall thickness — this is intentional, as thickness directly affects the duration and resonance of the sound.
-
Each 7-metal Tibetan Bowl is handmade, hammered, and shaped by hand.
Small surface imperfections and visible hammer marks are signs of authentic craftsmanship and soft, malleable metal, which allow for deep, long-lasting vibrations.
Thank you for your trust.
