Frequently asked questions
How do I choose my first bowl or set?
Start by listening and considering how you’ll use your instruments, the space you have, and your budget. You can begin with one Crystal Tones bowl or explore a set. If you already own instruments, tell us what you play so we can help you compare combinations.
Notes, sizes, octaves and cents are useful details when pairing bowls. Hearing them together matters too. Listen to the recordings where available, or book a studio visit or online consultation for personal guidance.
What are Crystal Tones Alchemy Singing Bowls?
Crystal Tones Alchemy Singing Bowls are made in the USA from quartz combined with gemstones, minerals and metals. The alchemy name identifies the bowl’s named materials or finish. Compare each listing’s photographs, specifications and current price, and listen to its recording where available.
These are fragile instruments. Handle and transport them carefully, and ask us to check case fit and nesting before stacking bowls.
What's the price range?
Prices vary by the individual Crystal Tones bowl or set. The current price is shown on each product page.
Browse Crystal Tones bowls and curated bowl sets, or share your budget with us for help choosing.
What makes your curated sets special?
We put meticulous care into sourcing Crystal Tones Alchemy Singing Bowls and finding combinations that work together. We listen, compare instruments, and consider how a set will fit the facilitator who plays it.
That care continues when we bring in gongs and other instruments. Choosing each instrument and hearing how it works with the others takes time and attention. We’re here to help with that, whether you’re starting with bowls or building a fuller collection.
Our curated sets and personal guidance take the guesswork out of choosing, so you can focus on getting out into the world and facilitating. Tell us what you’d like to build.
What do the note and number on my bowl mean?
The bowl’s label identifies details such as its size, musical note and cents. Cents measure pitch differences: one semitone is divided into 100 cents. A plus sign means the bowl is above the reference pitch for its named note; a minus sign means it is below. For example, C +10 is 10 cents above the reference C.
When pairing instruments, consider the notes, octaves and cents together, then listen to the combination. Matching cents alone does not tell you whether you’ll enjoy the pairing. Ask us for help comparing your instruments.
Do you offer sound healing training or certification?
Yes. OSO Sound Healing offers Foundations 101, a self-paced online course; a 12-week live virtual certification program; and in-person sound healing trainings in Los Angeles and the Redwoods.

International orders: taxes, duties & customs brokers
All import duties, VAT or other import taxes, customs-clearance charges, and carrier or customs-broker fees are the customer’s responsibility. These charges are separate from the product price and shipping charge paid to OSO Sound Healing.
Your shipment may be handled by a customs broker or clearance agent, a third party that arranges clearance with your country’s customs authority. This may be the carrier’s brokerage service or a separate broker. Any brokerage, administration, disbursement, storage or other import-related fees charged to the recipient must be paid by the customer.
Customs authorities, carriers and brokers set these charges and clearance requirements. OSO Sound Healing does not set or control them, cannot waive them, and cannot guarantee customs release dates. Customs inspections and clearance delays are outside our control.
Please check your destination’s import requirements before ordering and respond promptly to requests from customs, the carrier or your broker. You are responsible for providing any information or authorization required from you as the recipient and paying charges when requested, which may be before, at or after delivery.
