Musical Notes and Bowl Sets Explained

The musical notes of our Crystal Singing Bowls are similar to those of a piano. Each key on the piano is precisely tuned to play a specific note. Similarly, each Crystal Singing Bowl is perfectly tuned to a particular note.

A standard piano has 88 keys – 52 white and 36 black. The white keys represent natural notes, while the black keys represent the sharps between the natural notes.

Likewise, Crystal Singing Bowls are tuned to the same musical notes. Our 'Standard' bowls play the natural notes (i.e., white keys on the piano), while the 'Sharp' bowls play the sharp notes (i.e., black keys on the piano).

Starting from the Base/Root bowl (C note), if you play the next 7 bowls up to the Soul Star (C5 note), you’ll be playing the full octave: Do-Re-Mi-Fa-Sol-La-Ti-Do

This visual chart compares the musical notes on a piano with the corresponding notes of crystal singing bowls. Below, you'll find the associated bowl sets for each note.

We recommend adding 'Sharp' bowls as an extension of your existing set. Start with a half, full, or extended set, and then enhance your collection with the sharp bowls to elevate your sound bath creations.

432hz Tuning Scale

Rainbow Sounds Crystal Singing Bowls are tuned from a base of 432hz scale frequency, based on the universal music tuning A = 432hz.

A common misconception is that all bowls are 432hz, which is incorrect. Because if all the bowls are 432hz, then all the bowls would be tuned to the A note!
