Chaken-style singing bowls have a slightly thinner wall and a wide flared rim, giving a warm, easy-rising voice. This large, roughly 800 g, 17 cm Chaken bowl is hand-finished in India from a copper–tin alloy.
Sound and resonance
Run the wooden mallet around the rim with patient, even pressure. The wider rim builds the note quickly and the larger size sustains it. A gentle side tap opens the practice with a clear, short tone.
Use in meditation and sound work
Place it on a folded cushion or a soft mat. It pairs well with longer personal sittings, end-of-yoga relaxation and small group sound work.
Care and storage
Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after use. Avoid acidic cleaners and water. Store on a soft cloth, away from impact.

Why the Chaken style is welcome
Chaken bowls are loved by sound-therapy teachers because the wider flared rim makes the note rise quickly and stay clear, so even a short session has a full musical feeling. The large size adds depth and length to the note, which suits longer practice and small group work.
A note on the finish
Each bowl carries faint hand-polish marks that are typical of metalwork shaped by hand, so every piece is slightly individual.
