How do I care for the Himalayan Singing Bowl?

Wipe with a dry soft cloth after abhishek; dry fully before returning to the altar. Polish rarely, with lemon and a pinch of salt, then rinse and dry at once; frequent polishing wears the detail. A soft dark patina over years is the alloy ageing naturally and is prized, not a fault.

Hand-hammered bowls have a longer, layered sustain than machine-made ones. Strike once, then run the striker slowly around the rim.

About this piece

Strike it once and the note keeps going, long and layered. This bowl is hand-hammered seven-metal bronze from Nepal, 18 cm across and 8 cm high, and weighs just over a kilo. It comes with a suede striker and a cushion, so you can sit down and play it the day it arrives.

Size: 18 cm across, 8 cm high; with mallet and cushion
Weight: 1.05 kg

Why it's traditionally used

Singing bowls come from the monasteries of Nepal and the Himalaya, where a single struck note marks the start and end of a sitting. At home it does the same job: one strike to settle, a slow circle around the rim, then silence and your practice. It sits well beside the aasan you use for morning japa or meditation.

How to use

Strike once, then rim slowly for a rising tone.

Care

Wipe with a dry soft cloth after abhishek; dry fully before returning to the altar.
Polish rarely, with lemon and a pinch of salt, then rinse and dry at once; frequent polishing wears the detail.
A soft dark patina over years is the alloy ageing naturally and is prized, not a fault.
Wipe with a dry cloth after playing; skin oils dull the tone over time.
Store on its cushion, not stacked; dents change the sound.
