Hand-beaten Singing Bowl 490grams weight 12.5cm diameter from Nepal

This traditional hand beaten singing bowl is produced from a mix of metals and comes complete with a turned wood Puja stick. Please note diameter, weight and thickness of the bowls will vary as this is a handmade product.

Hand beaten bowls have a more complex and rich range of sounds than machine made bowls, but there is more of a knack to playing them!

As all our hand beaten singing bowls are all unique, they are separated into product codes by weight in 100g increments. The code for each bowl begins HB (for Hand Beaten) followed by the weight. For example a 1.3kg bowl would be HB1300.

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.
