how much does the bowl weigh? Wondering if it is too heavy to use on a client to lay on their heart chakra for healing while playing. I have another 5.5" bowl with good sound, but very heavy.

I use it on my own heart chakra, as well as others, and I think the size and weight are just right for this. The vibrations from the bowl are quite intense, as small as it is. It is only the sound quality that lacks, probably due to the so-so construction of the bowl. That usually makes a difference, then again, larger bowls do seem to resonate with more purity. I think you'll be happy with this bowl for chakra work. Good luck!

The bowls I have vary in weight even if the diameter is the same - it is more to do it seems to me with the thickness of the metal shell. Unless your client is very light-weight and frail I'd think it might be worth a go. I can tell you that someone once placed a medium-sized crystal bowl on my back and because of it's wide base as well as thick crystal shell it seemed a bit heavy. The smallness of the "footprint" of brass/metal singing bowls seems to better balance it's weight and not seem so heavy. Good luck!

I didn't weigh it but my "guesstimate" is that it's about the weight of 2 medium-sized or large apples. I put mine on my chest while laying on the floor and it didn't seem heavy though I was quite aware it was present. Hope this helps!

I am happy with the mallet, I use it for shamanic journeying and find the tone created is just right. Too much sound from the drum can become a distraction for me, so I guess it depends on what kind of tone quality you are looking for.

When it is being played, it sounds no louder than someone drumming on a cushin, maybe a little louder. When you play, though, you have to listen to what you are playing through headphones. I wish it were louder for the player. Better headphones or an external amp may help. I hope this helps answer your question.

So I got the bowl to make ramen noodles in while deployed to Afghanistan and when I'd try and use it for that it was a little more squishy than I would have liked so I ended up making a mess enough times that I got another more sturdy bowl. It is very well suited for solid food/snacks but I didn't have a good experience trying to use it for soup. Hope that helps.

Hi ChrisI see that others have already given you the specs. I play this recorder nearly every day. I had to train my hands at first to get the low notes and prevent leaking. Now after a couple of months I can play it with ease, but it is a very large instrument and does strain your hands.

Nestor, hope I can be of some good here. If memory serves me right, the package is about 3 feet in height, give or take a couple inches. Width may be about 6 inches or so. The guitar probably weighs 3 pounds and the amp maybe a pound. The entire package may weigh 7 pounds. It has been a while since I bought this sweet guitar. I would advise having a guitar shop file the sides of the frets some as they are a bit rough. A set of Ernie Ball Super Slinky strings and higher quality machine heads will make this guitar a lot nicer. This is a keeper! Minis are sought after by some collectors. I actually have a hard to find mini precision bass that plays beautifully! Fender Squier also makes sweet mini Stratocasters. Anyway, I hope I was atleast a little helpful. If you buy this little pink gem, it will be worth every penny. The pickup is a Telecaster type bridge pickup, so if you wanted to hotrod this little guitar you can. Enjoy! - Viv

When I first received the bowl I thought it might be too big for my dog as well, but he did just fine with it. :) I have a 15lb MinPin, hope this helps!

I've had mine over six months and it's definitly the large blue swiril and each one if different. They're fairly heavy. I got the large dinner plate and the slightly smaller plate and they are very flat. We often use the 1 1/2" high bowl(I think they were called soup bowls) for items that may drip, like syrup. We also got the smaller bowl which are perfect for cereal and salad. Don't get the "salad plates" because they are huge like separate mixing bowls, as in the size of a salad for a whole family. Also, I've dropped them(due to clumsiness) and they don't break even on cement. I've had mine over six months and it's definitly the large blue swiril and each one if different. They're fairly heavy.

Joann, Sorry Took So Long! The Bowl Holds A Lot! It Is Very Attractive. However, It Is Quite Heavy & It's Not Something You'd Want To Pass Around!! It Is Very Nice!!!!!!!!!! Kat

This is an awesome guitar. The guitar is made well and looks very nice. However, it can easily be damaged if dropped or banged against something. I am a girl with small hands and it is much easier for me to play with this smaller guitar. I don't really know how big six year old hands are but I think this 3/4 guitar would be easier to use than the normal size ones. Hopes this helps.

Hi Sharlee, I found this bowl to be a bit squishier (softer) then the Aladdin silicone bowls. So, if I was taking soup; I'd choose the Aladdin & use this one for salad or cereal. Hope this helps

Physical weight-wise it's no that heavy, but in terms of warmth it was far too warm for me. Granted I'm a hot sleeper, but even in a NYC winter I was waking up due to heat. I actually returned it for this reason.

Unfortunately it's a bit heavy - mine is 8.1 lbs exactly - but it is still a great guitar - I upgraded the neck pickup with a GFS wide pole neck pup and it sounds wonderful - the stock neck pickup sucks. I get complements on the looks and sound from many people. Keep in mind it is a very versatile guitar.

It's fairly heavy, mostly due to the weight of the tiles, perhaps 8 pounds. I am very small and yet it's not difficult at all for me to carry for a long stretch.Some of my friends have a set which wraps in a soft cover....various opinions on that. All of us with this set really like it. Hope this helps.

I own this handy-dandy gadget. I thought, too, it would be heavy, but it really isn't. It weighs as much as two or three decks of Bicycle playing cards (for a crazy comparison!). Good luck!

It is only slightly heavier than an acoustic. Just remember that it is electric, and it is cheap! For what it is I got plenty of use out of mine. You can turn up amp effects and rock the house or like me, I practice in hotel rooms without disturbing vermin.

I think it would take 15 pounds. I use a heavy crylstal bowl and it looks great
