- She owns the same note in the same octave in different alchemies, 3 times over, so she reads as an alchemy collector rather than someone building a scale: B in the 3th octave, androgynous indium, grandmother and super; C# in the 4th octave, androgynous indium, grandmother and platinum; F# in the 4th octave, great salt lake and kyanite. Recommending the note she is missing may be the wrong pitch for her.
- Window -38 to -18: opened to 20 cents, ML's own standard for how a set is built (Aug 16 2026: "we didn't make sure that we were giving her 20 cents apart"). Confirm or change this default in batch_all.py.

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. Bowls without that mark are at their usual price. Take two or more of the marked bowls, though, and any other bowl comes down 10% too, including ones that are not on this page. If there is something else you want, ask me.
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.
