Singing Bowls

Click Picture to Enlarge and for More Information

Singing bowls are sound generating instruments traditionally used by Tibetan Buddhists as aids to meditation. According to Tibetan oral tradition the usage of singing bowls existed in 560 BC. To play a singing bowl, you hold the bowl in the palm of the hand, so that the body of the bowl is allowed to vibrate freely. With the wooden beater, or puja, you rub the outside rim in a circular motion, keeping an even pressure. Gently increase the speed as the bowl begins to vibrate and as the sound grows. You can also tap the bowl to begin the vibration. The bowl will resonate with two pure tones. The pitch of the bowl depends its thickness, size and weight. The pitch is fixed but may be controlled as to tone and volume by the force of the tap, the hardness of the striking stick, and the point of percussion. The sound is beautiful and haunting.
