Singing bowls originate from Tibetan Buddhist areas in the various states in the Himalayas. They are used as food bowls, sacrificial bowls, percussion instruments and for meditation. Each singing bowl has its own character, tone and timbre.

Singing bowls have many names, including: Buddhist bowls, healing bowls, harmonization bowls, Himalayan singing bowls, sacrificial bowls, relaxation bowls, ritual singing bowls or Tibetan singing bowls.

A singing bowl produces sound by striking it with a wooden stick, among other methods. A more subtle method is to slowly circle the stick around the rim, creating a stick-slip effect. Singing bowls have many overtone resonances with specific vibrations. The effect is attributed to the particular frequency. By holding the singing bowl in a different way, other resonant frequencies become dominant and the sound changes. Our singing bowls come from Nepal and are of excellent quality.
