A singing bowl only truly sings when paired with the right mallet. This 13 cm rounded-end wooden mallet is for those who want a soft, deep, full tone from their Tibetan or crystal bowl. It sits comfortably in the hand, is compact, and is easy to use even the first time — you need no musical training to bring out a beautiful sound.
Why the rounded end matters
The rounded, smooth wooden head draws a soft, rich, warm tone from the bowl. Unlike harder, flat-ended mallets — which produce a more metallic, sharper ring — this mallet creates a deeper, longer-lasting resonance. It is ideal for those practising sound therapy, sound baths or simple home sound meditation, looking for the calming, enveloping tone.
How to sound the bowl
There are two ways to produce the sound. First: circle the mallet evenly around the rim of the bowl with steady, moderate pressure — a continuous, singing tone emerges. Second: touch the side of the bowl gently with the mallet — a short, resonant note appears and lingers for a few seconds. Try both techniques to feel which one suits you best.
Size and bowl compatibility
The 13 cm size is best suited to smaller (10-18 cm diameter) singing bowls. The compact size gives enough force and control for these bowls; for larger bowls (over 20 cm) a heavier or leather-wrapped mallet is more appropriate. The wood is a relative of Indian almond (Terminalia Elliptica), sourced from Nepal, with a pleasant, natural feel in the hand.
