How To Play A Singing Bowl

There are two basic ways of playing a singing bowl: you can either strike it with the wooden striker like a bell for pulsating tones; or you can rub around the edge for a sustained effect (in a way similar to that of rubbing a finger around the edge of a wine glass). With wooden strikers, the basic rule is the larger the bowl, the larger the striker.

Resting the bowl upon the palm of your hand will usually give you to better experience than placing the bowl on a cushion on a tabletop when using the wooden striker. Using the wand and by just resting the bowl in the palm of the hand, the lower sounds will be accentuated. Dampening the bowl by bringing your fingers up lightly around the bowl will decrease the lower sounds and accentuate the higher tones, however, too high up and the sound stops!

The pressure that you use to apply the wooden striker onto the rim of the bowl will affect the sounds the bowl produces, as will the speed which it travels around the bowls edge. It is also true that the wood from which the striker is made makes a tremendous difference to the sound produced by the bowl. Too much or too little pressure, or the wrong speed, will cause a nasty rattling sound that most people dislike - and a common complaint from novices.

Each bowl makes a different tone depending upon its size! Hand Hammered Bronze Singing Bowls make a great sound at a great price!
