High-quality forged bowls
The singing bowls we offer (with the exception of the "cast" bowls) are handcrafted by blacksmiths near Kathmandu, Nepal.
Some are left unfinished, others are engraved by hand. The engravings make no difference to the quality of the sound, but can bring a different energy to the bowl and its singing. For example, take a look at our 7-metal engraved singing bowls.
Each bowl is unique

Instructions for use :
There are two ways to make a bowl sing: with a mallet and with a mallet. With the mallet, all you have to do is strike the outer edge of the bowl (upwards); its impact causes the bowl to vibrate spontaneously and its frequencies to diffuse in the same way as the impact of a pebble on water.
The mallet enables us to make the bowl sing by turning it while rubbing it around the bowl on the top of the outer rim, exerting fairly strong pressure. If the mallet jumps when the bowl vibrates, slow down or press harder.
History and origins of singing bowls
Singing bowls are thought to have originated over 3000 years ago in the Himalayas, where they were used by shamans and crafted by nomadic blacksmiths.
Today, their beautiful singing and their benefits to our physical and subtle bodies make them precious tools used and recognized the world over.
