Singing Bowl Set, 10 Metal Bowls

A ten-bowl brass singing bowl set from India, made for creating a layered sound ritual at home, in a studio, or in a quiet practice space. Each bowl has its own register, so the experience moves from bright, bell-like notes to deeper tones that settle into the room. The simple act of striker meeting rim becomes a pause: attentive, tactile, and beautifully unhurried. A complete brass bowl set for sound practice The range of bowls lets you move through different tones rather than relying on a single sound. Struck gently, each bowl gives an immediate bell-like note with a warm metallic edge. Circling the rim with the wooden end of a stick draws out the singing tone through steady friction. The set suits meditation rooms, yoga spaces, sound work, or a calm corner at home. Displayed together, the bowls bring a quiet sense of order and presence to a shelf or low table. Brass bowls with a warm, resonant character Each bowl is made from brass, a traditional metal for objects that are handled, struck and used often. Brass has a naturally warm tone and a golden appearance, with a surface that can mellow over time. The bowls are listed across a spread of sizes and notes, giving the set its sense of range. Larger bowls generally sit lower in pitch, while smaller bowls tend to sound brighter. How to play the bowls To hear a struck tone, tap the rim or side lightly with a suitable stick. For a singing tone, use the wooden end and move it slowly around the outer rim with even pressure. Let the bowl rest steadily while you play. A relaxed grip and slow movement usually give a clearer response than force. Singing bowls in Himalayan and Tibetan practice Singing bowls are a type of bell, with the rim and sides vibrating to create sound. They are closely associated with Himalayan ritual culture and Tibetan Buddhist practice, and contemporary bowls are also widely used in meditation, yoga and sound sessions around the world. In practice, the bowl is often used to mark a beginning or ending, gather attention, or give a simple point of focus. This set is from India, where Tibetan communities and Himalayan craft traditions have helped keep these objects part of both devotional and everyday sound practice. Care for the brass and the sound Wipe the bowls with a soft, dry cloth after handling, especially if they have picked up moisture or fingerprints. Keep them dry, and avoid abrasive cleaners that could mark the surface. Store the bowls where they will not knock against hard edges. If you stack them, place them down gently so the rims stay protected. Sizes, weights and listed notes The full set weighs 5200 g.

A generous gift for a sound practice This is a considered gift for someone building a meditation space, teaching yoga, exploring sound work, or collecting meaningful ritual objects. It feels substantial and thoughtful, especially for someone who would rather receive one lasting object than something decorative alone. Common questions Are these bowls precision-tuned instruments? They are supplied with listed notes, but singing bowls are best understood as resonant ritual instruments rather than precision concert instruments. Can the bowls be used together? Yes. The different sizes and listed notes make the set suitable for moving between brighter and deeper tones in one sound practice. Will the brass change over time? Brass can mellow in colour with handling and age. Keeping the bowls dry and wiping them after use helps preserve the finish.
