Chaken-style singing bowls have a slightly thinner wall and a wide flared rim, giving a brighter, quickly responsive voice. This medium, roughly 500 g, 15 cm Chaken bowl is hand-finished in India from a copper–tin alloy.
Sound and resonance
Run the wooden mallet around the rim with steady pressure. The thinner wall responds quickly: the note rises easily and stays clear and lifted. A gentle side tap opens the practice with a bright, short tone.
Use in meditation and sound work
Place it on a folded cushion or a soft mat. The size suits everyday personal practice, journalling pauses or the gentle opening of a yoga session.
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 thinner wall makes the note start quickly, so even a short session has a full musical feeling. The medium size keeps the sound at a manageable everyday volume and the lower weight is gentle on the hand. A practical bowl for daily personal practice.
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.
