INSPECTION SCOPE

What We Check in Every Singing Bowl Shipment

Singing bowls are unique — their value is in the sound, which comes down to craftsmanship, metal composition, and structural integrity. A single hairline crack can kill a bowl's resonance. Our inspectors are trained in both the art and science of singing bowl QC.

Every inspection runs through our proprietary sound testing protocol, detailed photo documentation, and a full report within 24 hours.

Sound quality and sustain - note clarity, harmonic richness, and resonance duration measured

Metal composition verification - traditional 7-metal alloy vs brass vs crystal identification

Surface finish inspection - casting defects, pitting, scratches, patina uniformity, and polish quality

Dimensional accuracy - diameter, height, and thickness verified against specification

Weight verification - weight consistency across matching sets and against agreed specifications

Structural integrity - rim evenness, wall thickness uniformity, and balance testing

Striker/mallet quality - wood quality, felt covering, and fit assessment

Packaging inspection - protective padding, box strength, and labelling for fragile shipments

TESTING PROTOCOLS

Rigorous Testing for Every Singing Bowl Shipment

Beyond the visual check, we run physical and acoustic tests to make sure your singing bowls sound and feel right.

Drop Test

Standard drop test on packed cartons from 1m height to verify packaging integrity and ensure fragile singing bowls arrive without cracks or damage.

Sound Test

Proprietary sound quality protocol - strike and rim tests to assess note clarity, harmonic richness, sustain duration, and detect unwanted overtones or buzzing.
