The OHM engraved singing bowl in 21 cm size
This singing bowl is shaped with the OHM syllable engraved on the rim and inside, and the surface is finished by hand. The diameter is approximately 21 centimeters, which places it in the medium size category. The OHM symbol is a traditional emblem and marks settling into quiet in many meditation traditions. If you are looking for a singing bowl that combines a pleasant tone with a meaningful visual pattern, we are happy to recommend this piece to you.
How this size sounds
A bowl of roughly 21 centimeters in diameter delivers a full, mid-deep base tone that hums for a long time after being played, which many people find grounding. The tone rises gradually, and when you trace the rim slowly with the mallet, the hum builds and then fades. The bowl responds well both to a gentle tap and to a circular tracing motion, so you do not need prior experience to draw out a pleasing sound at home.
How you can use it in daily life
This size of bowl is useful in many situations. At home we recommend it for personal practice, small group meditation, yoga sessions and sound bath practice. The calm tone supports evening wind-down moments, breath work or a short intention-setting practice. If you work with small groups, it also serves as a centerpiece bowl. The sound is not intrusive, so it suits a family environment without disturbing others in the home.
How to play it with care
Place the bowl on a soft pad, a cushion or your open palm so the sound can vibrate freely. Hold the mallet loosely and first tap the side of the rim gently to draw out the opening tone. Then use the wooden side of the mallet to trace the outer rim in slow, even circular motions. The sound will gradually build. If you move too quickly, the bowl may produce a grating noise, so a calm pace works best while you play.
Storage, care and accessories
Keep the bowl on a stable, level surface. Protect it from dust with a soft cloth. Strong chemicals can damage the surface finish, so please avoid them during cleaning. If you transport the bowl regularly, we recommend a padded carrying pouch for you. Try both the wooden and the rubber side of the mallet: the rubber side gives a softer tone, the wooden side a clearer ring.
