Each individual sound bowl is carefully hand-forged, requiring several steps to complete and shape into a perfect hand-forged sound bowl. In the manufacturing process, first different metal mixtures as raw materials (copper, tin, zinc, iron, lead, gold and silver) are melted in a furnace, according to the production needs, such as for the production of bronze sounding bowls or seven metal sounding bowls. The hot molten metal is removed from the furnace and poured into molds to make a metal mold for different sizes and weights. After that, the round Metal molds are cut into metal sheets of the required size and thickness. After this, these plates are forged or hammered by hand, after precise sizing and weight classification. In the process of hand forging sound bowls, 4-5 metal plates are stacked on top of each other and heated to a glowing red. The glowing hot sheets of metal are forged by a team of skilled craftsmen as long as there is heat in the metal, and then processed again for red heat, a continuous forging process. This heating and forging continues for stacked and bundled sheets of metal until the desired shape and size is formed. (This is why forged or hammered sound bowls are proportionally different sizes and diameters for each individual sound bowl.) In the process of forging sound bowls, the sheet metal can only be forged while it is glowing hot, while it remains soft and flexible. Because when the metal cools, it loses its softness and flexibility, which in turn makes the metal brittle and thus the bowl can be damaged. The reason behind this intensive work process is that the metal alloy (bronze or an alloy of seven metals) is very sensitive to heat and hardens when it loses its temperature, which can cause cracks and fractures.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n \u003cp\u003eAfter the design of the desired bowls is completed, the individual work begins. At this stage, each cup is brought to a uniform shape and size, and again, this is only possible during the red burning and heating and forging process. After finalizing the shape and size, more forging is done to achieve the final fine-tuning and shaping of the sound bowls. Individual sound bowls are carved and sanded to finish, both inside and out. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"prod-desc-container expandable expanded\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"prod-desc-wrapper\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"product-long-description\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Tarotpuoti Import","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42831534751957,"sku":"NE0285\/15","price":85.1,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0613\/6735\/3557\/products\/aanimalja-shanti-gold-coloured-sydanmalja-620g-746041.jpg?v=1648731486","url":"https:\/\/tarotpuoti.fi\/et-in\/products\/aanimalja-shanti-gold-colored-sydanmalja","provider":"Tarotpuoti","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
