Singing Bowl 22cm 1450g Nepalese Moon

A larger Nepalese singing bowl brings weight, stillness and sound into the same small ritual. Made from a metal alloy and used for meditation, yoga practice or a quiet corner at home, it is a physical instrument first: metal waiting for the right touch, then opening into resonance.

The feel of a substantial bowl

• Its generous presence gives the bowl a grounded, sculptural quality before it is even played.
• The metal alloy gives the tone its body, with layered overtones shaped by the bowl’s form and weight.
• It suits unhurried use: a single strike, a pause, and the sound fading naturally into the room.
• Placed on a low table, altar space or meditation mat, it becomes both instrument and focal object.
• The larger format is well suited to people who prefer a deeper, more enveloping sound than a small bowl.

Metal, resonance and Nepalese craft

This singing bowl is handcrafted in Nepal from an alloy listed as brass, copper bronze, iron and silver. It is described as being made from a single piece of metal alloy, giving it the solid, continuous body a singing bowl needs to vibrate clearly.

Playing the rim and the strike

Strike the rim gently for a clear note, then let the sound decay without rushing it. To make the bowl sing, move a wooden striker steadily around the outer rim with even pressure. The tone builds through friction, so patience matters more than force.

Using it in a quiet space

Use it to mark the beginning or end of meditation, yoga, breathwork or a slow evening ritual. It also works as a still centrepiece in a mindful home, especially where you want one object that feels calm, weighty and intentional.

How to care for the metal

Keep the bowl dry and wipe it with a soft cloth after handling. Avoid harsh cleaners, prolonged damp and abrasive pads, as mixed metal surfaces can dull or mark with rough treatment.

Sound in Himalayan context

Singing bowls are widely associated with Himalayan Buddhist and contemplative practice, where sound can be used to mark a transition, gather attention, or close a period of sitting. The gesture is simple: strike, listen, wait. In contemporary homes and studios, Nepalese singing bowls are often used in meditation, yoga and sound-based rituals for the same reason. They give a moment a beginning and an ending, without needing words.

Common questions

Is this bowl suitable for a beginner?
Yes. A gentle strike is simple to begin with, while rim-playing takes a little practice and steady pressure.

Will every bowl sound exactly the same?
No. Singing bowls vary in tone because alloy, form and wall thickness all affect resonance and overtones.

Can it be used as décor as well as an instrument?
Yes. It is a functional singing bowl, but its size and metal presence also make it suitable as a contemplative display piece.
