NX44A Singing Bowl

NX44A brass singing bowl.

This singing bowl set contains a machine made brass singing bowl, wooden striker (known as a puja stick,) and a simple cushion; all presented in an elegant handmade Himalayan lokta paper box, printed with a very brief history of the singing bowl, advice on how to play and it suggested uses. This extra large bowl produces a beautiful, rich sound.

Size approx 12.5 x 7.5cm; weight approx 665gm.

How to play: rest the singing bowl in the palm of the hand; hold smaller bowls on the fingertips. Hold the striker in the middle with all fingertips pointing downwards. Gently tap the striker against the side of the bowl to ‘warm it up’. With an even pressure, rub the striker clockwise around the outside rim of the bowl. Use a full arm movement just like stirring a big pan of soup. Try to keep the striker straight and remember to apply pressure. Let the sound build up slowly as the singing bowl picks up the vibration.
