★★★★★ J.Fantastic long sound and vibration
Long sound and vibration when rubbing the rubber mallet in a clockwise direction around the rim of the bowl. You don't even have to tap the bowl first to get the sound, just use the mallet and circle clockwise. Starts low then gets loud, you control how long and loud you want it to be. Perfect…

Am really pleased with this striker. Perfect size for my hand. Perfect shape for me and makes the sound much better than just the plain wooden strikers I have. Arrived a good week earlier than I expected it to also so that was a bonus. All in all very pleased with my purchase.

About this product
What you'll notice
- The contrast does the work. A glossy black exterior and interior against a bright gold rim and gold medallions gives the set a dramatic, almost lacquered look.
- Round gold medallions circle the outside of each bowl, and the rams, bulls and twin figures of the zodiac are easy to pick out among them.
- The gold band at the rim frames the opening of each bowl, so the set looks finished from above as well as from the side.
- Three sizes stand together as a set. Nested or lined up side by side, the graduated heights make a pleasing, ordered arrangement.
- Cast from solid brass, they have a weight and solidity that suits something meant to be held, struck and returned to.
Brass, black finish, gold detail
The bowls are made of brass, finished in black with gold-coloured detail. The zodiac signs sit in dotted circles around the body, and the rim is picked out in gold. It is a decorative approach with a long lineage: the singing bowl is a metalworking tradition that grew out of the Himalayan region, and in India the form has been reinterpreted with painted and patterned surfaces like this one.
Sound and use
A singing bowl has two basic voices. Tap the rim gently with a striker and you get an immediate, bell-like tone that fades. Run the striker slowly around the outer rim with steady pressure and the bowl begins to sing, a sustained, layered hum that builds as you go. Many people use them to mark the start or end of a meditation, to slow down between tasks, or simply to give a room a moment of stillness. As a general principle, larger bowls tend to sound lower and smaller ones higher, so three different diameters give you three different voices to play with.
Rest each bowl on a cushion or on your open palm so the metal can ring freely, and strike it lightly at first: it takes very little force.
Origin and tradition
Singing bowls have centuries of history across the Himalayas, where they have been used as ritual and household objects, and over the last few decades they have become a familiar sight in yoga studios and meditation spaces far beyond the region. The zodiac is a different tradition altogether, the twelve signs that people across many cultures have used to mark the turning of the year. Here the two meet: a meditation instrument decorated with symbols that many people keep close as a personal reference point, whether that is their own sign or the signs of the people they love.
Size and what's included
The set contains three bowls, measuring 15 cm, 19 cm and 20 cm across. Striker and cushion are not part of the listing, so pair them with ones of your own: a padded striker for a soft strike, a wooden one for circling the rim.
Care
Wipe each bowl with a soft, dry cloth after use. Keep them away from damp to protect the gold-coloured detail, and avoid abrasive cleaners that could scratch the finish. Between uses, nest them or stand them where they will not knock against one another.
