The media could not be loaded. I was pleasantly surprised about the quality of these bowls and their carrying cases! The bowls nest within one another with some black padding and styrofoam squares, which makes travelling a breeze. I much prefer using the wooden mallets over the other ones, but it's nice that they provide both sets.

When I received it, I was scared that the damaged delivery box meant that the bowls were broken (last two pictures). Thankfully neither the cases nor the bowls were damaged. To me this says they must be durable!

I was surprised that the G bowl was smaller than the A bowl. It's a bit tricky to play without it wobbling off of the ring that it sits on. This isn't a deal breaker, but a small detail that some people might be annoyed with.

They are in tune relative to A= 435hz, which isn't exactly what I wanted. Though I am happy that they are all consistently in tune with each other (screenshots of tuning app). I've played with them for about a week and they have a beautiful crisp sound (the video doesn't do it justice).

Overall, I'm satisfied with these crystal bowls. I recommend this for anyone wishing to find a reliable, beginner set.

These bowls are beautiful!
I am a complete novice and haven't tried to play them yet but am familiar as a friend let me try hers so kind of know what to do.
They are beautifully packaged.
They come with padded liners so are well protected. The only thing I did because I can be a real fumble- fingers was put the two largest bowls in nylon totes with carry handles to make it easier to lift them out of their bags. I love that the zippers are dual and are covered with a Velcro flap closure and the handles have the wrap for the bag straps. The bowls feel sturdy and everything promised was enclosed. The mallets have lovely wooden handles and the suede ones are quality too.
The price for this set was affordable for me and I hope to learn to play these bowls soon.
I even love the bags! Purple-my favorite color.
Update from 5/23/23:
Played bowls yesterday and am so happy. They all "sing" beautifully with both type strikers. My photo is shown with the largest bag in my own tote bag with handles. I'm 72 and don't have the strength and dexterity I used to do this is just an added tool that helps.
I wanted to mention that the outer box was clearly marked "fragile" in an extra- thick cardboard box and the interior boxes were well- padded. I was a little worried about the shipping since I live in Hawaii and have had some "interesting" experiences with things shipped here.
This company obviously respects it's product and packages it accordingly.

I got these to use every day. I enjoy their sound and am happy I made the purchase. I also found the perfect tables in order to play them standing up.

It took quite some time to open everything up as they are definitely shipped with the intention of arriving in one piece. I appreciate that.

The bowls are beautiful and sound amazing. One came broken but I emailed customer service and they sent a replacement right away. I am so excited to use these. I highly recommend buying from this company.

Absolutely Great value! Quality and Sound is Nice. I LOVE the carry cases that they come with. Even enough room to store my round Mandela tapestry and incense for on the go trips.
