Himalayan Singing Bowls – Hand-Hammered and Machined

Description This collection of Himalayan singing bowls spans a variety of tones and sizes. Each bowl comes with a mallet.  Watch video of each of our Himalayan singing bowls for sale: There are different kinds of singing bowls, with metal bowls usually coming in two main types, each offering its own benefits: Hand-hammered These bowls have a rough, uneven surface from the hammering process and create rich, complex sounds with lots of overtones. The way you strike the bowl changes the vibrations and the tones it produces, making them great for body work. If you use them close to the body or place them on spots like your chest, stomach, or feet, the vibrations can be deeply felt. Larger hand-hammered bowls (especially those over 6 inches) are particularly effective for this purpose. Machined These bowls are smooth and produce steady, clear tones. They’re typically louder and more consistent than hand-hammered bowls but don’t have quite the same range of sound. They create a sharp, bell-like tone that contrasts nicely with the more varied sounds of hand-hammered bowls. All of our singing bowls are sourced from the Himalayas, and your purchase helps support Tibetans in exile. Many of the bowls are hand-made in Nepal. Each singing bowl comes with a felted mallet (as shown in gallery photo). The mallet you receive may look slightly different from the photo. mallet included with each bowl
