X Large Singing Bowl Set

Our extra large singing bowl set, for those who want a truly resonant, room-filling sound. These substantial machine-made bowls produce a beautiful, rich tone that lingers long after the striker leaves the rim. Each set contains a brass singing bowl, a wooden striker and a simple cushion, presented in an elegant handmade Himalayan lokta paper box printed with a brief history of the singing bowl, guidance on how to play and suggested uses.

Machine-made metal bowls are generally easier to play than traditional hand-beaten bowls. Their smooth, polished finish allows for a steadier striking motion, making them ideal for beginners. Hand-beaten bowls produce a more complex, overtone-rich sound, but require a little more technique to get the best from them.

How to Play

1. Rest the singing bowl in the palm of your hand. For smaller bowls, balance it on your fingertips.
2. Hold the striker in the middle with all fingertips pointing downwards.
3. Gently tap the striker against the side of the bowl to warm it up.
4. With even pressure, rub the striker clockwise around the outside rim of the bowl using a full arm movement — like stirring a large pan.
5. Keep the striker upright and maintain steady pressure. Let the sound build gradually as the bowl picks up the vibration.
