Customer Testimonials

"This is the 5th bowl that I've purchased from iSingingBowls, so - yes - I am Very pleased with your sales and service.  My four prior purchases from Rain form the core of my 3rd octave, which are the bowls that I most often play.  I couldn't resist this Jhumka, when I read that there's only one shop that makes them.  It puts me in mind of a sort-of miniature Jambati.  

I keep an eye on your website, and your listings on eBay.  I adore the sound recordings.  I learned the hard way not to buy a bowl unless I can hear it first, and I'll often play a recording a dozen or more times over the course of several days before I make a decision.  Space is a huge limiting factor for me, as well as limited reach as I'm only 5-foot tall.  I play for relaxation and meditation.  My job is very stressful, and I find that the bowls help tremendously.  

I also appreciate all of the information posted on your website - about Rain's own work as well as about the bowls.  

Thank you!"

"The Lotus Bowl we ordered is a treat for the eyes and ears.  The sonic power from such a lightweight bowl is astounding, no doubt the bottom protrusion hand hammered by the maker is like a two way sounding cone both upward and downward penetrating the hand or body as it may be used in healing.  Sharing bowl baths between my wife and I may never be the same. Thanks again Rain for finding these gems from afar."

"Absolutely perfect and exactly what I was looking to put together [Set #180: 3rd Octave CYCLE OF FIFTHS w/ 432 Hz Tuning]. You definitely are a true master."

"I can’t tell you how much I love my singing bowls. Thank you for your patience and thank you so much for being willing to part with the JHUMKA bowl. It’s so beautiful. They all are - and sound heavenly. I’m really looking forward to playing them more, learning more and building my full set. Thank you again."

"We received the 6 Singing Bowls earlier this week.  We opened the box immediately.  As usual, it was packaged superbly.  Well insulated from the rigors of the Delivery Service handling and transferring.  But the very best part was the sound of the bowls. UNBELIEVABLE.  We tried to wear them out. Absolutely the very best sounds we could have hoped for.  They sounded even better in our home than they did on the recording you had sent. Needless to say we will be using them a lot. We can hardly wait for the arrival of the two “C” bowls when your stock is replenished. A thousand Thank you’s from both Betty and myself. You indeed are the “Master”.

“We received the 4th member of our Tibetan singing bowl family from Rain Gray and iSingingBowls.  We had to play it immediately.  It was unbelievable.  What a sound and it lasted forever.  We had called and Rain knew we were interested in putting together a complete set.  He picked this bowl out personally for us.  He is the most knowledgeable person on Tibetan Singing Bowls you will ever meet.  He is fabulous to speak with and work with.  His website is outstanding as well.  You can listen to many of the bowls before you purchase.  His pricing is competitive and the quality of the bowls peerless.  He also has several instructional videos that are very helpful.  We can hardly wait for the next member of our growing Singing Bowl family to arrive. We highly recommend iSingingBowls as your source for high quality singing bowls.”

"I am extremely pleased with my recent purchase from iSingingBowls.com.  After listening to audio clips of over 1000 (seriously - I am VERY particular) singing bowls, from numerous sellers, I found what I consider to be the bowl I was looking for.  Excellent craftsmanship, excellent tone, excellent sustain all for an excellent price.  The ordering process was exceptionally easy, the bowl I wanted was actually available (unlike other websites), and the delivery time was faster than fast.  This guy knows how to run a business.     

Bowls sold by iSingingBowls.com are the best of the best. The owner appears to be very particular on which bowls he selects and sells.  Don’t waste your time considering others cheaper, poorly/mass produced, “out-of-tune” bowls and go with the best - iSingingBowls.com.

All in all, I am a very satisfied customer. Definitely 5 - Stars. Keep up the great work."

"I received my spectacular large Tingsha bells yesterday. I was delighted with the fast shipping! But not as delighted as I was with the superb tone and resonance of the bells. I am a mental health counselor and am currently doing virtual appointments because of CoVid. The bells are so beautiful that their sound travels through the computer and/or phone to resonate with my clients. And of course, I am enjoying them up close and personal and feel very blessed. Before I purchased them, I contacted you about the tone and you assured me you had selected them yourself. I can only say "Well Done!" I am so pleased by these. Thank you so very much for offering these bells."

Bowl  #8884  arrived today - It is absolutely magical!  It has a delightful and quirky personality - and BIG shoulders for a relatively small bowl. It was also a huge pleasure to speak with Rain at length before I decided on the purchase - 

Many thanks!

"The Large bowl has just arrived, safe and sound. I must say this after experiencing the singing bowls from your store: now I know what harmonically balanced means :-)  The Sound is wonderful! With smile,"

"Best purchase I have made for myself in a while. I am simply amazed by the quality and care put into this piece. The energy I felt while playing was indescribable. I have looked for the perfect singing bowl for months. Decided to go with this one and I am beyond happy that I did. Thank you so much Rain Gray for only picking the best because it shows."

"I am absolutely blown away by my experience with iSingingbowls.com. From the first interaction with Rain I was met with support, accommodation, and expertise of the instruments. Rain was communicative and extremely helpful in making certain my business received the bowls I needed for my practice. The bowls themselves are truly exceptional. They blend together magnificently, and I'm in complete awe of their quality of sound: the tone, the sustain, the ease of play, every aspect was beyond my expectation. I cannot wait to build upon this set. Rain has a true gift for selection and any bowls you purchase from him are sure to be a fantastic addition to your collection."

"This is a wonderful bowl. I selected it based upon the tones of my other bowls. The bowl's tone is exactly what it was on the internet. I will buy again from iSingingBowls!"

"In our beautiful meeting house, we have used five singing bowls for several years during worship. We use them for several things but the most common use is to call the congregation to prayer and meditation. Week after week, people hear the singing bowls until there is a close connection between the singing bowls and being in the meeting house, sacred space, and also being with the congregation, a beloved community. I also use them as I lead prayer and meditation groups.

A few years ago, I began the practice of giving to each graduating senior in the congregation a small personal singing bowl. Some of the students have reported how meaningful the bowls are to them. It is our hope that living near the bowl and using it from time to time will always draw their attention back to the meeting house where they first experienced singing bowls, and back to the congregation where they were spiritually nurtured through their childhoods.

In addition, we hope that the singing bowls will become sources of peace and inspiration that will take them to new places they never have experienced. For some, we hope the bowls will become part of regular spiritual practice. In some way, the bowl becomes our meetinghouse that goes with them wherever they go. My thanks to Rain, who gave so generously and patiently of his time to help us make sure we selected just the right bowls for our young people, and one for my own use. Surely, spirituality in making a sale enhances the enduring spiritual power of the bowls."

"I just got done purchasing my 3rd bowl from Rain. I had been purchasing specific singing bowls for some time now through other distributors for a specific sound that I've created for live performance. And, then I was introduced to Rain's product through Alexandre Tannous. The product that Rain offers is miles ahead of what can be purchased from anyone else. The tones (overtones), harmonic balance, beautiful appearance and accurate descriptions of the singing bowls from iSingingBowls.com are a thing of beauty. Not only is Rain's dedication to his art and his business humbling but he is just a great person to have a conversation with about creating music with these singing bowls. I've slowly been replacing my current bowls with what Rain offers, and I look forward to working with Rain for a long time to come."

"Rain, my bowls have arrived. They sound incredible, especially the antiques. I think those two are the sweetest sounding bowls I've ever heard. I've spent the past few weeks in Indonesia, where I went to several different shops that source thousands of bowls from Nepal. I listened for hours upon hours with my tuner in hand and headphones of my recordings, looking for my D3. While I found some, I now know what you mean by "dead metal." There was nothing that even came close to the quality of the bowls you found me. I also went to several "sound healing" practitioners around Bali, but was shocked at how out of wack their bowls sounded to me. Not bad, just dead. You've officially turned me into a bowl snob ;) Thank you again!"

"Outstanding quality singing bowl. Description of the bowl and sound files were extremely accurate. Purchased as part of an investigation into the Solfeggio tones. Bowl measured exactly 285 Hz as compared my NCH tone generator. Great product. Thanks."

"Rain is the owner of iSingingBowls.com and he has been working with and importing singing bowls from the Himalayas for 38 years. He is one of the leading experts and importers of the finest singing bowls in the States. His bowls are of extremely high quality. Most importantly he is someone with high knowledge and integrity."

"Have you ever heard a sound that transported you back to a time when the pyramids were built? A sound that reaches down inside side you and turns you inside out? A sound that releases your dreams of creation and primordial ooze and galaxies and the mystery of the aurora borealis? This is what happens to me when I listen to my 16th century Singing bowl I got from Rain Gray | iSingingBowls.

I’ve spent my whole life listening to music and the saxophone. These bowls create and release sounds from another planet and another space. I’ve just started exploring their magic and charm. I hope that everyone can experience the wonder and joy that I have thus far."

"I just wanted to let you know how much I love the singing bowl I purchased. The sound is truly beautiful and will be a valuable addition to meditation. I sounds far better than another bowl I purchased recently (from a different supplier). From now on, when I consider buying another bowl I will deal only with you! Thank you again."

Tom P.

"I'm new to singing bowls. I heard one and fell in love with the sound. When I went to purchase one, I wanted to make sure that I wasn't getting all style and no substance. This bowl is the real deal. It plays beautifully. The tone on the website is indicative of what the bowl sounds like. Even my husband, who's normally skeptical about things like this, was interested in it!"

Jessica B.

"Great product, I constantly get compliments on it. Shipping was super fast as well. I'm very satisfied with the purchase and the service."

Janusz M.

"I am in love! This bowl is perfection. I have used it many times already. I love the fact that you're able to hear before you buy. It sounded exactly like the sample! It also came with tips, history, and directions. I love knowing the history, because people always ask. It's nice to have a backstory when asked where it came from, as opposed to a commercial product. Thank you, iSingingBowls!!!"

"I love these tingshas--nicely made and finished, They are well tuned to each other, and produce a beautiful, long and resonant ring. Would highly recommend them. And fast shipping, too--thanks!!"

"Wonderful! I love the sound of this bowl and Rain provided personal guidance when I had questions on making my selection. The website is unique in that you can sample the sound of all the bowls... So I blew out my cheap computer speakers! :) "

Della R.

"Just received the singing bowls. Awesome. Very looong notes & great resonance. Like magic sound. Wow. And thank you for the CD. Incredible sound! Great. Mystic! I'm very happy with everything in the package! thanks a lot. I think I'll buy bigger one when I have money."

"I have an issue now. I got the bowls and I left you feedback for them after spending some time with them. I went in and played them next to my husband as he was laying down and he said it was the most beautiful sounds he had ever heard. I went finally to put your CD on and he slipped off into a deep sleep listening to that and I sat and marveled at what you did to pull that together. I could just imagine how healing it was for your father to hear your bowls singing him back to health. Thank you for such a profound gift, not only in the CD but in the fact that you take the time and heart to bring bowls to other like you do. My problem now is that I love them SO much and I made the big mistake of listening to this one. Can you tell me more about your feelings on this? I played the clip and was playing my bowls with it and I really like them together. Don t be afraid to tell me to just shut my mouth. I will try! Thank you so much for packing them so safely,"

"Outstanding!! Great service, wonderful bowl.This is a wonderful bowl. I selected it based upon the tones of my other bowls. The bowl's tone is exactly what it was on the internet. I will buy again from iSingingBowls!"

"Beautiful bowl, love the sound. I am really pleased with my purchase. Rain and the staff are really responsive to questions and very helpful when choosing bowls."

Shantau F.

"Great Customer Service and Amazing Bowl: The bowls are beautiful, sounds terrific, the audio sample on site and the sound of the bowl are exact. I can play the audio file through my sound system, or play the singing bowl and my family can't tell which is which because of the excellent quality of the sound recording.

Customer Service was excellent and answered my questions promptly and understandably. Shipping sent my bowls the day I ordered. Very classy company with beautiful sounding bowls. I will buy from this company again; they've earned my loyalty."
