Thomann Crystal Singing Bowl CF 10" E

The pitch is spot on (323Hz measured) and the quality generally good. My issue is the sustain when struck is barely 15 seconds (10 before significant tail off) with either the included silicone stick or quality mallet. I got a couple of ENERGYSOUND crystal bowls from amazon which were both cheaper and had far longer sustain.

Like most people I cant justify the cost of a high end bowl - indeed I would be scared to break one - so I make do with these budget offerings. You can do better than this one.
