Extra Large Singing Bowl Set

This large machine made singing bowl produces a rich, full sound. The gift set contains a machine made brass singing bowl, wooden striker (known as a puja stick,) and a simple cushion; all presented in an elegant handmade Himalayan lokta paper box, printed with a very brief history of the singing bowl, advice on how to play and it suggested uses.

Machine made metal bowls are generally easier to play than traditional hand beaten bowls as they have a smooth polished finish which allows for a steadier movement, this makes them ideal for people learning or for children. Hand beaten bowls have a more complex and overtone rich range of sounds but there is more of a knack to playing them than with machine made bowls.

Singing bowls have been used in spiritual and healing practices for many millenia and are said to aid meditation and to bring about a deep sense of relaxation and harmony.

How to play

Rest the singing bowl in the palm of the hand; hold smaller bowls on the fingertips. Hold the striker in the middle with all fingertips pointing downwards. Gently tap the striker against the side of the bowl to ‘warm it up’. With an even pressure, rub the striker clockwise around the outside rim of the bowl. Use a full arm movement just like stirring a big pan of soup. Try to keep the striker straight and remember to apply pressure. Let the sound build up slowly as the singing bowl picks up the vibration. Read more about singing bowls and what a singing bowl sounds like.
