Special pricing through Sept 30
The bowls marked Special price are ones I have on loan that are going back soon, so those are reduced through Sept 30. Buy one of them and it is 10% off. Buy two and they are 12% off. Buy three or more and they are 15% off.
How the pricing works
Any special pricing goes on an invoice from me, not the cart, so there is nothing to check out here. If something calls to you, just tell me.

Care & resources
Care documents, and the insurers other clients use.
We typically choose bowls within 20 cents of each other. Cents are the numbers after each note on your bowls. It does not mean your bowls will not sound happy together, but in traditional Western music some of your bowls are considered to be in another tuning. They end up creating binaural sounds.
Your set
Two of your bowls have another name. Your 8-inch A#+50 is also B-50. Your 7-inch F#+45 is also G-55. Same bowl, same sound, just written the other way.
I would build your set from these three bowls: G-55, G#-50 and B-50.
Your 6-inch G#-20 and your 7-inch G#-50 are a binaural pair. So are your 7-inch B-15 and your 8-inch A#+50.
Everything below is tuned between -35 and -55/+45.
We do not have a cent reading for your blue D#. Send me one and I will tell you where it fits.
Bowls in your tuning
G major (G, B, D)
Your 7-inch G-55 and your 8-inch B-50, plus a D note, make a G major chord (G, B, D). The scale from there is G major pentatonic (G, A, B, D, E). You would have three of the five.
G# minor (G#, B, D#)
Your 7-inch G#-50 and your 8-inch B-50, plus a D# note, make a G# minor chord (G#, B, D#). The scale from there is G# minor pentatonic (G#, B, C#, D#, F#). You would have three of the five. Put that same D# with your 7-inch G-55 instead and it makes a G augmented chord (G, B, D#), which is known to be more spacey than a major chord.
The rest of G major (A, E, C)
A and E finish G major pentatonic (G, A, B, D, E). C fills out the full G major scale (G, A, B, C, D, E, F#).
The rest of G# minor (F#, C#)
F# and C# finish G# minor pentatonic (G#, B, C#, D#, F#). The C# is the only one we have and it runs 10 cents wide of the rest.
The other direction: F# major pentatonic (F#, G#, A#, C#, D#)
Your 7-inch F#+45 and 8-inch A#+50 are the same two bowls as the G and the B above, named the other way. Add G#, C# and D# and you have the whole five-note scale, the one people call the endocrine set. This is instead of the bowls above, not on top of them.
Deeper
The 10-inch is your own 7-inch G# an octave down, so it lands below anything you have.
Pyramids and tuning forks
Tuning matters much less on a pyramid or a fork, so I have shown you all of them.
