Mikä on tuo upea ääni ja värähtely? Klassinen äänikulho OHM elegantilla OHM-symbolin kaiverruksella sisällä pohjassa. Jokainen äänimalja on käsintehty ja siksi ainutlaatuinen. Kokoluokitus antaa osviittaa tuotteesta, mutta yksilölliset mitat löydät kunkin tuotteen pohjasta, josta löytyy OHM-äänimaljan paino. Käsintyöstäminen on aikaa vievää ja vaatii erityistä ammattitaitoa.
Huomaathan, että äänimaljan soittamiseen tarvittava soitinkapula myydään erikseen - voit itse valita minkä mallin tarvitset.
Materiaali:
Käsintehty äänimalja kuparista, tinasta ja 8 jalometallista (Ag, Ni, Cd, Ru, Pd, Pt, Cr, Mn).
Ominaisuudet:
Kaunis pronssinen väri
OHM-kaiverrus sisäpohjassa
Beaten Singing Bowls
Beaten or hand hammered singing bowls are made by way of a complete hand
hammering process. Every single singing bowl is carefully hand beaten,
which requires several processes to finish up and shaping it into a
perfect hand hammered singing bowl. In the making process, first the
various composition of metals as raw materials (copper, tin, zinc, iron,
lead, gold and silver) are melted in furnace, depending on
manufacturing needs such as for the making of bronze singing bowls or
for seven metal singing bowls. The hot melted metal is removed from the
furnace and poured into dice to prepare a metal mould for the various
sizes and weights. Then, the round metal moulds are cut into round metal
discs in needed size and thickness. After that, these discs are hand
beaten or hammered, after precise measurement and categorized for weight
and sized bowls.
Regarding the hand hammering process of singing bowls,
4 to 5 metal discs are piled up, one upon the other, and then heated to
red hot. The red hot metal sheets are hammered by a group of expert
artisans, as long as the heat remains in metal, and then again processed
to red heating, for a continuous beating process. This heating and
beating of the bundled and piled up metal discs continues until a
desired shape and size is formed. (That is why the hammered or beaten
singing bowls will be proportionately different in a size and diameter
with each individual singing bowl.) During the hammering process of
these singing bowls, the metal disc can only be hammered during the time
of being red hot, while it remains soft and flexible. Because when the
metal gets colder, it will loose its softness and flexibility, which in
turn makes the metal brittle and thus the bowl could be ruined. The
reason behind this intensive working process is that the metal content
(bronze or seven metals mixture) is very sensitive to heat and gets
harder when it looses its hot temperature and will get cracks and
breaks.
After completion of shaping the desired bowls, the individual work will
start. At this stage, every bowl is brought into uniform shape and size,
and once more, this can only be done during the red burning and heating
and beating process. After finalizing the shape and size, more
hammering is done for a final fine tuning and shaping of the singing
bowls. The individual singing bowls are then chiselled and scoured for
the finishing touch, at the inside and outside.
