Frequently asked questions
Here are some common questions about this bowl.
Honey's sweetness might suggest heart-opening work, but Idaho Honey operates through foundational nourishment—rebuilding reserves from the ground up rather than bypassing depletion with temporary uplift. The C frequency at 262 Hz targets the body's center of gravity, creating the kind of deep restoration that allows sustainable giving. Practitioners reach for this bowl when clients need to receive before they can open, when the nervous system requires anchoring before heart work becomes safe.
Idaho Honey comes from high-altitude meadows in one of North America's last truly wild honey-producing regions—bees foraging on native wildflowers across unpolluted landscapes create honey with genuine terroir. This mineral-rich complexity integrates into the quartz's microstructure during formation, producing what people describe as a warmer, more enveloping tone than generic honey infusions. The structural imprint of place remains even after the honey transforms at extreme temperatures, giving this bowl a distinctive golden quality in both sound and presence.

Teachers managing classroom transitions, parents establishing bedtime routines, athletes recovering after competition, and anyone in caregiving roles who gives more than they receive. The Concert Pitch tuning (C+8 cents at A=440) means it integrates seamlessly with other instruments, making it practical for music teachers, yoga instructors using recorded tracks, or business facilitators opening meetings. This bowl serves the scattered, the depleted, the overstimulated—anyone whose nervous system needs gentle regulation without requiring spiritual framework or training.
Idaho Honey specifically addresses the "reserves run low" state that defines burnout—when you've been giving outward for so long that receiving feels foreign. The Root chakra resonance rebuilds foundational capacity rather than masking exhaustion with temporary energy. Therapists use this bowl with clients in helping professions, bodyworkers play it for themselves after draining sessions, and parents reach for it when they've hit the edge of patience. The sound creates permission to rest without guilt, to refill before the well runs completely dry.
Yes—this bowl resonates at 262 Hz, which places it at C+8 cents using A=440 reference (Concert Pitch). It will sound in tune when played alongside pianos, guitars, orchestras, or any instrument using standard tuning. This makes it ideal for music teachers incorporating sound into lessons, yoga instructors using recorded music, or practitioners building collections that need to work together. The Idaho Honey infusion adds warmth to the tone while maintaining the clarity needed for ensemble playing. Adding water to the bowl lowers pitch slightly for fine-tuning if needed.
The Idaho Honey infusion is permanent—integrated at the molecular level during formation, not applied as a coating. The bowl is waterproof, temperature-stable, and sunlight-safe. Clean with water and mild soap when needed; the seamless one-piece construction means no weak points or joints to worry about. The honey's structural imprint remains stable through decades of use. Store on the included silicone O-ring to protect the rim when not in use, and play it on the O-ring on any stable surface for optimal resonance.
