This tibetan singing bowl set has the most beautiful sound to it. Of course it took me a few times to get the right sound, the sound that made me feel peaceful and happy. I love using this bowl set, and it really does help with my meditatio techniques. This set comes with everything I needed to get started, including a user guide! It has a nice burlap bag to store it all in when you are done so that everything stays in one place. I loved that i got a chakra bracelet with it! This is a nice quality singing bowl set and it has a beautiful ringing sound that cannot be duplicated by anything else. Even if You don't want to use it for meditation, it makes a gorgeous centerpiece anywhere you put it!
