Question 1

What size singing bowl is this 14 cm beater suited for?

Accepted Answer

The 14 cm beater is recommended for medium to large singing bowls — generally those 15 cm or larger in diameter work best with this length. For smaller bowls, particularly those in the 5 to 10 cm range, a shorter and lighter beater is recommended.

Question 2

What is Terminalia Elliptica wood, and why is it good for a beater?

Accepted Answer

Terminalia Elliptica is a hard, dense wood known in South and Southeast Asia as black or Indian teak. Its density allows for a firm, clear strike, while its natural flexibility prevents it from damaging the rim of the bowl. The wood's resonance properties help draw out the deep, sustained singing tones that singing bowls are known for.

Question 3

How should I use the wooden beater on a singing bowl?

Accepted Answer

To produce the sustained singing tone, gently press the beater against the rim of the bowl and move it in slow, circular strokes with consistent pressure. You can also strike the side of the bowl directly to initiate the sound. By adjusting the pressure and speed of the circular motion, you can achieve different tones and overtones. For beginners, slow, gentle strokes are the easiest place to start.
