8" G# Note 440Hz Near Perfect Pitch Frosted Cloud Bowl Crystal Sound Bowl #cb8gsp10
Where resonance meets the sky
The Frosted Cloud Bowl is a breathtaking fusion of sonic sculpture and crystal clarity. Cloud Bowls are suspended instruments made from high-purity quartz crystal. They hang in the air like a bell and are designed to be struck, not sung around the rim. The result is a sound that’s clear, resonant, and full of presence. Each strike creates a tone that seems to float in the space around you—crisp, vibrant, and deeply grounding all at once.
Cloud Bowls are inspired by mid-20th-century composer Harry Partch, who broke from Western musical traditions to create instruments that captured the emotional depth of human experience. His Cloud-Chamber Bowls—made from discarded glass carboys once used in radiation labs—were suspended from wooden frames and struck like bells, each producing a unique tone based on its size and shape. Partch found that the placement and force of each strike dramatically affected the sound, with softer hits near the bottom creating deep, resonant tones and top strikes producing sharper notes. Because the bowls were fragile and irreplaceable, he embraced their impermanence. Partch didn’t try to replace broken bowls—he just rewrote the music around the new sounds. It was a living, breathing instrument set.
Our Cloud Bowls are a modern, crystal version of this concept. Instead of lab glass, they’re made from 99.99% pure quartz crystal—the same material used in high-end Crystal Vibes singing bowls. Each one has a hole cut into it and is suspended so that it can vibrate freely when struck. The hanging design lets the sound resonate more fully, without being muffled by contact with a surface. The tones are clear and focused, with rich overtones and just the right amount of sustain. They're beautiful on their own and even more powerful when played in a group.
Whether you’re a sound practitioner, musician, therapist, or simply someone drawn to unique instruments, Cloud Bowls offer something truly special. They help you hold space, shift energy, and create meaningful pauses in your practice. Rooted in the spirit of experimental music and elevated through the purity of crystal sound, they are easy to play, beautiful to behold, and deeply rewarding to work with. Most of all, they remind us that sometimes, the most powerful music happens in the space between the notes.
Hardware and Accessories
This instrument includes a felt singing bowl mallet for activation. Each Cloud Bowl comes equipped with a built-in hook inside the bowl, making it easy to suspend from a standard gong stand or custom frame. You can hang a single bowl on its own for focused use, or arrange multiple bowls in a row to create a cascading line of tones—perfect for performances, sound baths, or in home installations. This flexible setup allows you to explore layered harmonies and unique spatial arrangements while keeping your setup clean, balanced, and visually striking.
Hang height: minimum 6" clearance plus the height of the bowl which will vary. Maximum 32" height.
