DEA Misleading Title and Lacking Content: A Review of 'The Singing Bowl Book My name is Frank Plate and in India they think, I am one of the largest singing bowl dealers in the world with over 30 years of experience in the field. From the mid-90ties to 2007 I have bought approximately 10,000 antique singing bowls and currently have over 1,000 bowls in stock, in Germany. The book in question is a charming work about old singing bowls, yet the title 'The Singing Bowl Book' is somewhat misplaced as it lacks a lot of content. If the author had specified 'antique singing bowls' in the title, I would have rated the content highly. It's clear that he's making a visible effort to sell a bowl collection. Due to the scarcity of these items, apart from him and myself, few others stock large quantities of old bowls. The author's knowledge seems limited to Nepal. He seems unaware that many old singing bowls originate from across the Indian subcontinent. His analysis of the bowls' use in India is lacking, and he doesn't delve into the diverse regional contexts or cultural applications of the bowls. My wife and I have published successful books on singing bowls in the German-speaking market. For a title like 'The Singing Bowl Book', it lacks around 1000 pages of information, particularly on therapeutic, meditative, and self-development applications. However, he does display good knowledge about old singing bowls and I was able to learn from it. Overall, given the broad title, it would have been beneficial if the author provided more information on singing bowls.

GBAmazing quality and service Amazing quality and service! The Singing Bowl Museum takes the guesswork out of buying one of a kind artifacts online. I was confident knowing I was purchasing true antiques of the highest quality from the most experienced singing bowl collector in the world, with the best collection available. The ability to listen to the bowls in addition to the expert guidance of Joseph made my purchase an excellent experience. Thank you Joseph for sharing these amazing bowls with all of us.

GBA great establishment to purchase from! I recently purchased a 10.25 inch bowl in E, and received it very quickly! Ordered 1/28 and delivered 2/3. The bowl is lovely, deep and resonant, and before shipping Joseph was kind enough to reach out and make certain that I knew everything about the item to make an informed purchase, which is very appreciated. It was safely packaged, and arrived with both a felt mallet and leather striker, as well as a very pretty embroidered silk ring cushion to rest the bowl on. All three of those items were unexpected and a great surprise! I will be purchasing more bowls in the future, and will definitely purchase from the Singing Bowl Museum again.

Each bowl for sale on this site has been hand selected with a love and passion as well as a respect for antique Himalayan bowls. Joseph Feinstein conducts his business with integrity. His customer service is above and beyond. He is easy to contact and responds very quickly. He gives a very personalized service. Receiving antique bowls from a person with his expertise is a gift. I'm grateful to have had the very positive experience that I have. May I give ten stars instead of five? I would if I could!
