Hand-forged by José Antonio Álvarez X The Ohm Store in Spain over six months.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eOur Silver-nickel alloy is sourced from one of the handful of European foundries capable of producing it. Each plate is hammered by hand, and the vision of the final version of each plate is created by Jose using tantric numerology and sacred geometry to determine dimensions. The colors you see are \"fire patina\" so no two will look the same. This is heat oxidation, applied from the forge and no paint, dyes, or chemical applications are used here.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eEach one emerges differently, unique. 35 are available now. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Sound \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eOur Spectrum analysis reveals two dominant frequencies around 300 Hz and 600 Hz, depending on which of the three included mallets you use.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eA perfect 2:1 harmonic ratio.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe sound sustains for over 40 seconds from a single strike. Where singing bowls produce 8 to 12 complex overtones, these plates deliver pure, focused resonance with bell like, clean sustain. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe process\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eOnly a handful of Metallurgists and Master Foundrymen can produce this alloy, known as silver-nickel. One of the most challenging parts of making silver nickel style instruments is to actually be able to source the alloy. We waited months to receive the raw material. José hand-hammers each plate, with a vision. Every strike placed with intention. Adjusted. Annealing. The patina formed during forging as heat oxidized the metal at a molecular level. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"text-text-100 mt-2 -mb-1 text-base font-bold\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat you will receive. \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eOne gong plate. 6.7″ × 10.2″ × 0.1″ thick.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eSilver-nickel alloy with fire patina.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThree mallets included, each producing different tonal characteristics.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eEach plate is unrepeatable.
