Tibetan Singing Bowls have been valued for centuries for meditation
enhancement; holistic healing; and ceremonial use. The harmonics and overtones that
singing bowls create are unlike those of any other instrument. The sounds that the
singing bowls produce depend upon the diameter of the bowl; the shape and thickness
of its walls; and the type of striker or mallet used.
Playing the bowls is done by tapping the bowl wall with a striker or by rubbing
the rim with the striker to create a humming vibration.
Our singing bowls are handmade from the traditional seven metals:
gold, silver, copper, lead, tin, zinc and iron. They come in high-sided (thadobati)
and low-sided (manipuri) styles. Their diameters range from 4 inches to 15 inches,
with the largest bowls having individual deities carved in the bottom of the bowl.
All sizes produce relaxing, peaceful harmonics. Learning to play is an art in itself,
so we provide singing bowl instruction books to help you on your way.
