I picked this bowl because of the beautiful, low sound. It's the lowest (I could find) at Thomann.
But when delivered The sound wasn't nearly as low! Not the beautiful 76Hz from the sample, but a bit less than 100Hz! Quite a difference! On top of that, it has more dominant (high) overtones, making it sound more ringing like a bell, instead of the pure hummm from the sample. Even with a softer mallet (not included).
Because of the sound, I decided to return it. It's not bad and sustains quite long (soft though), but it's not what I'm looking for.
Another point of critique: Very annoying that even for this price I can't choose my own cushion! A bowl like this will be displayed somewhere, so the looks also count! I can imagine it's difficult to offer choice for a 15 euro bowl, but for 169???
