HAND CRAFTED

History of Making Singing Bowls - The Singing Bowls have been made in the same way since they were first introduced to the Himalayas more than 1,200 years ago. However, this unique art form has been all-but lost due to the modern technology of blending metals and turning bowls by machines. There are only a handful of traditional bowl-makers left in the Himalayas now

Made in Nepal - Our Tibetan Singing Bowl Set are handmade by Nepalese artisans from brass to create calming and healing sounds.

How to Use

Method 1: Striking

Striking is arguably the easiest way to play a singing bowl. This is a great introduction to playing the bowl and is suitable for all ages.

1. Simply hold the bowl in the palm of your non-dominant hand, and the mallet in your dominant hand.
2. Hold the mallet like a baton and lightly strike the bowl with the padded side of the mallet on the bowl’s mid-exterior wall.
3. Striking the bowl will produce a pleasant, rich tone.
4. We recommend striking the bowl once and letting the sound and vibrations fully dissipate before striking again.

Method 2: Rimming

This method can be more challenging but can easily be mastered with practice. If it is your first time attempting to play a singing bowl, anticipate practicing a few times before being able to master this technique. Patience is key!

1. Begin in a relaxed seated position with a straight spine while maintaining a natural breath.
2. Hold the bowl in the palm of your non-dominant hand, and the mallet in your dominant hand.
3. This time, grip the mallet in the center with your forefinger and thumb like a pen with the padded end of the mallet gently resting in the web between the thumb and forefinger.
4. Lightly strike the bowl on the mid-exterior wall to ‘warm-up’ the bowl and before the vibrations dissipate, immediately position the mallet vertically near the rim of the bowl and begin circling the rim in a clockwise motion. It is important to start circling the rim as soon as you make contact with it to start the singing. If you place the mallet against the rim without moving it, the initial sound from striking will be dampened and you will have difficulty making the bowl sing.
5. Circle the bowl at least five times using a full-arm movement until you begin to hear the female overtone build. The circling motion is similar to stirring a pot and it’s important to keep the mallet vertical.
6. As the female overtone builds you can slow your speed and make firmer contact between the mallet and rim. As you continue, the female overtone will sound sweet and clear. It’s important to continue to apply pressure as the friction between the mallet and bowl produces vibrations which result in the singing sound.
   

You may also start circling the rim without first striking the bowl, however we find the vibrations produced by initially striking the bowl make it much easier to play for beginners. As you get the hang of it, you can experiment with different techniques.
