The Beauty of Crystal Singing Bowls

Crystal singing bowls, known for their purity of sound and aesthetic elegance, are not just musical instruments. They are tools for relaxation, meditation, and personal well-being. Each bowl, whether hand-hammered or machine-finished, produces a unique sound profile that can transport you to a state of deep tranquility.

Hand-Hammered vs. Machine-Finished

When exploring our collection, you’ll notice two distinct types: hand-hammered and machine-finished bowls. The hand-hammered bowls offer a rich, complex sound with multiple overtones, creating a more ‘organic’ auditory experience. On the other hand, the machine-finished bowls provide a cleaner, more precise tone, ideal for those seeking clarity and focus in their soundscapes.

Setting the Stage for Sound

To fully appreciate the sound of a singing bowl, it is essential to place it on an appropriate surface. We recommend using a cushion or mat, which not only stabilizes the bowl but also enhances its acoustic properties. Placing your bowl on a hard surface without a cushion can lead to a muffled and unpleasant sound.

The Art of Playing

Playing your crystal singing bowl involves a delicate touch and a bit of practice. Here are some tips to get you started:

Holding the Bowl: If you choose to hold the bowl, ensure your grip is gentle. A firm grip can dampen the sound. Remove any rings or bracelets to avoid metallic interference.
Striking the Bowl: Use the striker to gently hit the bowl at its widest point. This technique allows the bowl to resonate fully, producing the richest sound.
Making the Bowl Sing: After striking, maintain a steady contact with the striker around the rim of the bowl. This consistent motion is what creates the mesmerizing ‘singing’ effect.
Striker Selection: We offer a variety of strikers suited to different bowl sizes and sounds. A wooden striker covered with suede or felt can soften the impact, while a plain wooden end produces a sharper, more pronounced tone.
