9 string Lyre Bowl in Apple

Description

Lyre Bowls with 9 strings are delightfully flexible instruments. Either as a full scale-plus-one or in the easy to play ancient Celtic pentatonic tuning they give sweet and harmonious sounds.  This one, made from Dart Estuary Applewood, by Wilfred at the original Devon Sounding Bowl studios can be heard in the sample below. Apple wood Sounding Bowls have a tonal flavour that is sweet and refreshing – as one might surmise from the fruit this tree bears 😉  This bowl is extra lightweight, easy to hold, has far more volume than one would expect of such a small instrument and is full of that harmony of overtones that has made Sounding Bowls famous across the world.
This piece came from the same tree as this 9 string Melody Bowl
