The Weathered Collection: The Chalice - Pedestal Bowl
A Special Note About The Weathered Collection:
Please note – this instrument has a special story, even more so than usual for our handmade treasures.
These exact bowls were in our “Sonic Bunker” in Hunt, TX when the flooding occurred July 4th 2025.
Some were hardly impacted; a full shelving unit remained perfectly intact with several of the bowls never even meeting the water. Others were jostled, submerged temporarily and sustained some bumps.
We’ve personally cleaned, taken care of, inspected and evaluated each of these items. Because of the weathering they’ve experienced, we’re pleased to offer them to you at three significant levels of discount, based on their condition from our personal inspection of each.
All are still incredible musical instruments, their impacts were primarily cosmetic (if any).
30% off – “You Can Hardly Tell” At first glance, it looks like a pristine singing bowl (with handmade singing bowls pristine includes hammer marks and asymmetries associated with a handmade instrument). There may be a few light scratches or small discoloration, but these are primarily on the bottom of the bowl. The bulk of our instruments are in this category.
40% off – “Pretty Scratched, Perfect Sound” There are obvious cosmetic and visual imperfections, scratches, discoloration. They play incredibly still, their song is unchanged, they just look weathered.
50% off – “A Little Broken But Still Sings” These bowls and gongs are either bent, or have a small hole in them. They generally play exactly as intended, but they’ve got some physical issues. There’s less than 10 total instruments in this category.

Imperfect
for Life
Your future Tree of Life singing bowl weighs in at 1.7 pounds, and is approximately 6.5 inches in diameter across the top of the bowl and 3.1 inches high. With your bowl, you will receive a suede wrapped Saaj wooden striker, and a hand sewn, decorative cushion made of Tibetan cotton.
Please note that each singing bowl that we make is 100% unique and made by the loving hands of one of our craftsmen. Due to the nature of this handmade process, all sizes and weights are approximate and the sound captured on our website may be slightly different than your own special bowl.
These bowls are perfectly representative of the human condition, in that each of us are imperfectly perfect!
About The Chalice Bowl:
Originally referred to as “Naga” or “Stand” bowls, Pedestal Bowls are some of the rarest types of modern singing bowls.
Last Year, we released an extremely limited number of one of a kind pedestal bowls that we were lucky to collect from a very small maker in India. After the few lucky enough to claim them offered glowing feedback, we went to work creating one for our own limited release.
To be inspired by our Pedestal Bowl, The Chalice, is to simply listen to the recorded sound samples.
The pedestal bowl will be noted for its pristine and focused clarity of sound, and brilliantly easy playing rim tones. Our Founder, Frank, has shared that it is a bridge sound between metal and crystal singing bowls.
Made in two pieces, first a traditional hand-hammered Bell Metal bronze singing bowl, second a stand is connected to the base of the bowl. The stand serves as both a handle, and a platform from which your pedestal bowl will sing.
Each Chalice Bowl will be approximately 6.25 inches in diameter, and the soldered on base will act as a handle, and a stand. It will be accompanied by a handmade striker from Nepal.
Our experience is that it is incredible to use it as a handle, you can direct the sound's energy more directly than any other type of singing bowl -- like your magic wand.

We are open and receptive to your questions or concerns and are here to help support you through this unique process the best way we can, with the resources we have available. You will never be left feeling “stuck” with a singing bowl that isn’t the right fit for your needs.
