Large Handcrafted Singing Bowl
The Large Handcrafted Singing Bowl is made of brass in line with traditional Tibetan craftsmanship. The bowl is essentially an inverted bell: when the rim is rubbed or tapped with a mallet, the side and edge of the metal begin to vibrate, and from this vibration the melodic, slowly unfolding fundamental tone is born. The 19 cm diameter provides enough spatial coverage for sound bathing, group meditation or therapeutic use.
Technical details
- Diameter: 19 cm
- Height: 9 cm
- Material: brass
- Finish: hand-worked, traditional technique
How to use
Place the bowl on a stable base (cushion or fabric) so the vibration can work freely. Guide the rimmed part of the mallet in slow, even circles along the inner or outer rim of the bowl. The sound builds up gradually; press harder with the mallet for a more upwelling, deeper resonance. For a short chime, touch the side with a single tap.
Why choose this bowl
Because of the hand-working process, every piece is unique, with its own characteristic tonal colour. The 19 cm size is large enough for a single tone to sustain for minutes, while the vibration can be felt physically as well – excellent for sound therapy, closing a massage or relaxation sessions.
Tips
- Over time you can refresh the bowl's inner shine with a gentle surface abrasive or brass polish.
- Pay attention to keeping your wrist relaxed during use; the tone will be cleaner as a result.
- Do not place coins or small metal objects inside the bowl, as they can scratch the inner surface.
