The plain polished singing bowl strips the practice back to essentials — only the warm, hand-polished metal, no painted pattern. The large, roughly 850 g, 17 cm size gives a deep, sustained voice well suited to longer sittings and small group practice.
Sound and resonance
Run the wooden mallet around the rim with patient, even pressure. The note builds slowly and lingers, filling the room with a calming wash. A gentle tap on the side 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 evening group sound baths, end-of-yoga relaxation or a longer personal sitting.
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 a plain finish is welcome
Some practices prefer to leave the visual quiet so the attention can rest fully on the sound. The plain polished surface does just that — there is nothing to look at, only the slow warm light of the hand-finished metal, and the voice when you play. A pure choice for those who like their tools simple.
A note on the finish
Each bowl carries faint hand-polish marks that are typical of metalwork shaped by hand. These small variations mean every piece is slightly individual.
