About this product
What the bowl brings to a room
- The dark beaten surface catches light softly, giving the bowl a more contemplative feel than polished brass.
- Its broad, grounded shape makes it feel substantial before it is even played.
- Used with a suitable striker, the rim can be rubbed with steady pressure so the sound gradually gathers.
- A single strike marks a clear pause, useful before meditation, prayer or a quiet moment at home.
- As a display piece, it has the stillness of an instrument waiting to resonate.
Black beaten brass
The bowl is made from brass with a dark, beaten finish. The textured surface gives it depth and character, so it feels less like a plain metal vessel and more like a sound object with visual weight.
Playing it with patience
A singing bowl is a type of bell, but it rests on its base rather than hanging or sitting on a handle. When struck, or when played around the rim with a suitable striker, the sides and rim vibrate to create its tone.
Rim-playing takes a little practice. Move slowly, keep the pressure even, and let the sound build rather than forcing it.
How to use and care for it
Place the bowl on a stable surface or hold it steadily in the palm. Strike the rim gently for a clear tone, or circle the outer rim with a suitable wooden striker for a sustained singing sound.
Keep it dry and wipe with a soft cloth after handling. Avoid harsh cleaners or abrasive pads, as they can mark the brass and disturb the dark finish.
In Buddhist practice
Singing bowls are associated with Buddhist practice, where sound may be used to mark a transition, support meditation, accompany prayer or draw attention into a more focused state. The bowl does not need elaborate ritual to feel meaningful. A single note, allowed to rise and fade, can create a small boundary around a moment: the beginning of a sitting, the closing of a practice, or a pause in the middle of an ordinary day.

★★★★★ SHAMTAM customerThis bowl packs a punch
I bought this for my wife for Christmas & she really loves it. It was claimed it had a "great sound". It does. "Plays easily" - it does. At first I was worried that it would be too small, but it actually fits on her fingers well. I bought this after reading the reviews and was not disappointed. I would certainly recomm
