Who is this larger striker right for?
If you have a larger (above 23 cm) singing bowl and you want to play it in its full depth, this larger suede-covered striker was made exactly for that. The weight of the striker and the covering together ensure that the bowl's base tone is round, deep and long-sustaining. If you run sound bath sessions, do therapeutic work or have a serious home practice, this piece will be a reliable helper for you.
Sound and playing experience
The suede covering makes the tone softer than a wooden striker, but thanks to the larger size and more stable weight, the sound does not lose its fullness. On the strike the tone is warm and round; with the circular motion a continuous, deeply undulating hum builds up. You can work beautifully with both gentler and stronger movements.
Material and grip
The inner part of the striker is wood and the end is covered with a black suede-like fabric. The handle nestles particularly well in the hand, and although it is larger than the smaller versions, its weight is still comfortable to bear during longer practice. As a regular practitioner or group leader, you will use it often.
Where does it serve most effectively?
At sound bath workshops, in therapy groups, in larger-room yoga or meditation practice. It also works well at home next to a larger bowl if you have a serious practice. It is a useful piece of a small set of strikers: the large suede-covered piece provides the deep foundation, while the smaller ones add the higher tones.
Cleaning and storage
Wipe with a soft, dry cloth. Keep away from moisture and dishwashing liquid. If it gets dusty, just dust gently. Store in a dry place, protected from direct sunlight. Cared for this way, the striker will remain a flawless companion for your singing bowl practice for a long time.
