I don't know if it is because my ears are extraordinarily sensitive to certain pitches and sounds, or it is the way she plays them, but I have to leave the room.
It does something to my ears which I find really uncomfortable, and I have to go out till she's finished.
When we were kids, we used to circle a finger around the rim of a glass and get a similar sound. It used to upset the dog!

Liked the guitar/harp though.
What a gifted young man.
Yes, re. the bowls!
It is a surprisingly loud and piercing sound!
Maybe it depends which note the bowl is singing?
Plus the vibrations are almost tangible, I must admit.
Still clever, though!
I also have some tuned wind chimes. They sound beautiful. I have them attached to a door in my house, so every time you open the door, you get this beautifully tuned chord of four notes playing.
Not cheap, but infinitely nicer than the tinny cheap wind chimes you usually hear!
