TIBETAN SINGING BOWLS: HOW DO THEY WORK?
Posted on April 24, 2012 by dawa in Blog

Tibetan singing bowls are made from a combination of high-quality bronze and tin. This combination is known as bell metal bronze worldwide.

The harmonics which a Tibetan bowl produces resemble a singing quality, thus the name Tibetan singing bowls.

Tibetan singing bowls come in different sizes and depths, enabling them to produce different overtones and sounds. The general fact is smaller bowls produce higher tones while bigger and deeper bowls produce lower tones.

Mallets are used to produce sounds. There are dual-playing padded mallets which create both monophonic and multiphonic tones.

There different vibrations and complex sounds that are produced by Tibetan singing bowls. There are also books and even video manuals on how you can produce more lasting singing sounds and tones using your Antique Tibetan Singing Bowls.

If you’re interested in using them as a part of a religious ritual, you might need to practice to get it right. These musical instruments do not have strings where you can tune or modify their sound so the quality of the sound will depend on the pressure your mallet is exerting against the singing bowl.

You can very well improve your skill if you start a collection of Tibetan singing bowls. As mentioned, Tibetan singing bowls come in different sizes. Having multiple Tibetan singing bowls will be a great start for you to share your talents with other people who want to meditate and experience healing by listening to these ancient and unique instruments.
