The hammer marks stay

A hand-worked bowl carries visible facets over its whole outer surface and is never perfectly round. That irregularity is the signature of the method.

Copper alloy

The composition varies between workshops and is rarely documented precisely - claims about a fixed set of seven metals are traditional rather than verified.

How to play it

Struck for a single note, or run around the rim for a sustained one. It must sit on a cushion; a hard surface damps it almost entirely.

Three things tell you more about a bowl than its price.

Diameter. A wider bowl sounds lower and holds its note longer; a small one speaks higher and fades sooner. Neither is more correct - a small bowl suits a desk, a wide one fills a room. The diameter is listed in the specifications on every page here.

How it was made. Hand-hammered bowls carry visible marks from the hammer, and no two are identical. Machine-finished bowls are smoother and more regular. This is a difference of surface and of character, not of quality.

How you will use it. A bowl you strike needs nothing more than a mallet. A bowl you mean to play around the rim wants a size your hand can travel comfortably.

You do not need a large bowl to practise well. You need one you will actually pick up.

Orders are processed within one to two business days, Monday to Friday, with tracking on every parcel. Delivery across the continental United States then takes ten to twenty-five days.

Changed your mind? You have thirty days from delivery to request a return. A bowl that has been played is still returnable - we only ask that it comes back complete and in its original packing. Approved refunds go back to your original payment method within three business days. Full terms are on our Returns & Refunds page.

It travels

Metal takes a knock. A hammered bowl goes in a bag to a class, a retreat or a friend's floor, which is not a trip you would ask of quartz.

Struck, or sung

A strike gives one note and a long decay. Running the mallet around the rim brings the same bowl up and holds it there. One object, two ways to play.

No two voices

Hammered bowls are not identical and neither are their notes. We would rather tell you that than pretend one bowl stands in for the next.

Frequently asked questions

What are metal singing bowls made of?

An alloy of copper with other metals - the composition varies between workshops and is rarely documented precisely. Claims about a fixed set of seven metals are traditional rather than verified.

How do I know whether a bowl is hand-hammered?

The marks. A hand-worked bowl carries visible hammer facets over the whole outer surface and is never perfectly regular. A spun or cast bowl is smooth and symmetrical.

How is it played?

Struck with a mallet for a single note, or run around the rim with steady pressure for a continuous tone. The bowl must sit on a cushion - a hard surface damps it.

Can children use one?

There is nothing dangerous about a bowl and a mallet. Bear in mind that a struck bowl is louder than people expect at close range.

Hammering leaves marks, and it should

A hand-hammered bowl carries the facets of the tool that shaped it, in rings around the body. They catch the light unevenly and they are not identical from one bowl to the next. A perfectly smooth, perfectly regular bowl has been spun or cast rather than hammered - a different object, not a better one.

A bowl needs a cushion

Metal stops ringing wherever it touches something solid. Set a bowl on a bare table and most of the sound dies in the first second; set it on its cushion and the tone opens out and holds. It is the cheapest thing you can do for a bowl, and it changes more than any technique.
