Hey Kevin, thanks so much for your continued support and feedback! As you know from your growing bowl collection, each bowl has its unique characteristics that may not suit every practitioner. If you wish to swap this bowl out for a different tone, never hesitate to let us know! Now knowing you prefer an E note when singing and not when it is struck, that is something we can look for when selecting a replacement. Send us a message at info@dharmashop.com and we can detail that process. Thanks again for choosing our small shop to grow your singing bowl collection, we appreciate your support of Himalayan artisans!
