Well almost everyone has been continuously saying that it's better to get an antique singing bowl rather than other newly made singing bowls. This issue was also raised in the training. Some of the participants argued that if the bronze singing bowls play the sound identical to the sound of the antique singing bowl then why not to use bronze bowls for healing purpose. Even the sound of bronze helps to create a soothing environment. If the person chooses bronze bowls instead of antique bowls then the love for it will decrease which directly influence the demand. This way the price of the antique bowls will not be hiked. The price of bronze bowls will definitely not increase because there is still the production of bronze bowls and supply will meet the demands.
In a reply, Mr. Sharma suggested that obviously, the sound of both bowls sounds identical but there is a vast difference in the effect of sound. These effects can only be noticed when the person plays the bowls for a longer period of time. This is what art curator or the professionals knows about the Antique bowls and they invest in the antique bowls.
We can categorize the benefits of the antique singing bowls into following points:

They were used as storage materials. Also, it is found that the singing bowls were used for rituals in the monastery. Later the people discovered the benefits of sound produced by the singing bowl and hence it was used for therapeutic interventions, and meditation as well. Nowadays, even when the meditation is not related to the singing bowl, still the experts use singing bowls in order to aware the clients and participants about the time and the initiation of the session. It has made valuable part of the therapeutic session and training as well.
