Re: OT:Singing bowl measurements

Hi,

the sometimes stubborn german analysis is sometimes for good.
Like Lindsay I have not the time to get deeper in this topic.
This irrational harmonic row was listed up by my memory,so it is
not valid or comparable to other bells.Sorry...

My location is near to a bell manufacture/factory.If I have time,
I will ask them for more details.

The Bell example was only thought as a maybe comparable sound to the
bowl !
