What you get with this rubber ring
This 9.5-centimetre rubber ring is made for safe, clean playing of your singing bowl. The material is soft, flexible rubber that does not scratch the underside of the bowl or the table. It can replace a lost or worn ring, or extend a larger home collection. It is suitable for both crystal and metal singing bowls and fits small and medium-sized bowls.
How it helps your playing
When you play, the bowl wants to move slightly as you circle the rim. The rubber ring catches this movement, so the bowl stays in place and the sound can build into a steady, floating resonance. If the bowl slides, the mallet may bounce and the sound breaks. The ring removes this, so it is worth keeping one for each of your bowls.
How you can use it in everyday life
Place the rubber ring on the table, shelf or meditation cushion area, then set the singing bowl on it. When you take the bowl on the road, put the ring inside the bowl: it travels space-savingly there and cushions any knocks. During a sound bath, every bowl should sit on its own ring, so the sound stays clean and the bowls do not slide.
How to know this is the right size for you
This 9.5-centimetre ring fits smaller and medium-sized singing bowls. If you have a large, heavy bowl, you should choose a larger ring that safely supports the wider base. It is a good choice if your existing rubber ring is lost, worn or torn, or if you are looking for a base for a new bowl. With several bowls it is worth ordering more than one at a time.
What to watch out for in use
Keep it dry; do not expose it to strong heat or direct sunlight, as the rubber can stiffen over time. If dusty, wipe with a soft, barely damp cloth and let it dry. Replace an old, cracked or torn ring, because the bowl may slide on it. Never use the ring on its own as a decoration; it is designed to hold the bowl safely.
