How Do I Clean And Maintain By Bowl?

First, do not use artificial cleansers and scrubs that you've got around the house! These can be damaging to the delicate sound potential your bowl carries.

a) Fill 1 bowl with water, and gently squeeze lemon juice into the water.

b) Fill a second bowl with pure, slightly warm water

c) Grab 3 clean towels

d) Submerge the first towel in the bowl with water and lemon juice, and wring the towel out well. Use this to clean areas that may have become dusty or dirty is some way.

e) Submerge the second towel in the bowl with just warm water, and wring the towel out well. The key here is to be sure you use this to remove all of the citric acid that may be on the bowl from the first pass.

f) Use the third dry towel to gently buff the bowl, and be sure to remove all traces of water

How Do I Play My Singing Bowl?

If you are thinking about purchasing your first singing bowl, or starting a practice with a bowl you already own, congratulations!

Following is a quick synopsis of how to immediately begin to enjoy your singing bowl. Please note as well that the singing bowl (like any instrument, or yoga, or any meditation practice) is a practice - as you allow yourself to become acquainted with your bowl over the first week of practice, and pay special attention as you are playing, you will become in tune with your bowl.

Do not feel discouraged if you don't play the bowl instantly and perfectly (though many users report that this does happen!)

1) Hold the singing bowl on the palm of the left hand. For smaller bowls, seven inches and under, hold on your fingertips.

2) Grasp the mallet about mid-length, with all the fingertips pointing downwards and touching the wood. (If you are using one of our padded mallets, the wool should be on top.) Palm downward.

3) Gently tap the mallet against the side of the bowl to 'warm-up' the bell.

4) With an even pressure, rub the mallet clockwise around the outside edge of the rim of the bowl. Use a full arm movement, just like stirring a big kettle of soup, and keep the mallet straight up and down! Again, it's not a wrist movement, but a full-arm movement.

5) Remember to apply pressure - the friction of the mallet against the outer rim produces vibrations which result in sound.

6) Experiment with your speed. Usually people go too fast! Let the sound build up slowly as the singing bowl picks up the vibration. If you experience a chattering noise, this means that you are going too quickly. The vibrations you're creating are too powerful for the bowl, and it is causing the striker to jump off the metal (imperceptible to the naked eye).

We'd all like to call your attention to something that us, and our customers, have experienced in regards to the temperatures your bowl is exposed to.

Temperature extremes (hot and cold) can affect the way the bowl sounds. This is to be expected, as this will change the composition of the metals temporarily.

If your bowl has been subjected to temperature change, please allow it to return to a normal, room temperature and the sound quality should be back to normal.
