It arrived on time and in very good condition. The only gripe I may have is that the tassels on the pillow are tied half-way down the length of string. Easily correctable. It took me only 1 hour to learn how to make it sing properly. It gives a rich, beautiful tone that permeates the air and you can feel the vibrations flowing through your body to heal you.I do have one question, though. What does the painted inscription around the bowl, say? I know it's Tibetan, and Google has a Tibetan language plug-in, but I don't think I'd know how to enter Tibetan characters into a western keyboard. Even with the alt, ctrl, and function buttons. Would be awesome to know.Thank you!
