How to Play a Tibetan Bowl
If you hold Tibetan Singing Bowls in your hand, it is left free to vibrate. Then, you can gently rub a mallet across the side of it. This is what generates the singing sensation, often used for Tibetan meditation. You can also quietly hit the side of the bowl. This makes a bell-like chord. Either way you play crystal singing bowls, it is the vibrations that create the sound, like if you press and slide your finger around the edge of a champagne glass. The pitch of the sound can vary depending on the bowl density. Bowls can range in diameter from six to eleven inches. You can also increase the mallet speed to alter the sound.
