Sela Percussion Crystal Singing Bowl Chakra 10" - Blue Throat G (432 Hz)

Historical Context and Positioning in the Range

The Crystal Singing Bowl Chakra represents a modern interpretation of singing bowls inspired by Tibetan tradition. While historical models are generally made from bronze or brass alloys, this quartz crystal version relies on a specific fusion and shaping process to achieve particularly pure sonic properties. In the Chakra series, each bowl is associated with an energy center, linking color and pitch, making it a targeted instrument for relaxation and sound therapy practices.

Who This Singing Bowl Is For

This crystal singing bowl is suitable for beginners as well as intermediate and advanced practitioners: it is easy to handle, and the sound results are immediate, even with basic technique. It is particularly well suited for meditation, sound massages, breathing sessions, yoga, and relaxation approaches in professional settings or at home. Its 432 Hz tuning primarily targets ambient, therapeutic, and contemplative environments rather than group play with instruments tuned to 440 Hz.

Features and Innovations

With a diameter of 10" (approximately 25 cm), this model offers an excellent balance between sound presence and portability. The frosted, slightly rough surface facilitates playing by friction and contributes to a refined aesthetic thanks to the blue gradient. The bowl comes with a dedicated mallet : its handle made of Asian schima wood ensures good ergonomics, while the rubber head allows two complementary approaches-soft striking for a clear attack, or friction to gradually build up the sound. The silicone ring enhances stability and helps the bowl vibrate freely, maintaining a long and even sustain.

Sound Characteristics

Quartz crystal is valued for its ability to produce a very clear sound, with a sense of purity and a resonance that seems to "float" in space. Compared to metal bowls, the fundamental note often stands out more precisely, and the sustain is generally longer, which favors sound baths and meditation sequences without interruption. The "singing" harmonics develop gradually, creating an enveloping effect, especially when maintaining steady pressure during friction playing.

This model is associated with the throat chakra and the note G (Sol). Tuned to 432 Hz, the instrument deviates from the Western standard of 440 Hz, which can enhance the feeling of relaxation sought in wellness practices. Conversely, it is not designed to play in tune with instruments traditionally tuned to 440 Hz: for a coherent ensemble, it is recommended to use it solo or with other instruments set to 432 Hz.
