Tibetan Singing Bowls

Initially Tibetan bowls were used as a meditation tool especially in Tibet. But now besides meditation they are being used for a number of reasons all over the world. Other usages of Tibetan bowls include religion uses, for health care and as a musical instrument. These are also known as Himalayan bowls. They are different from usual bells because their bottom lies on the ground. Vibrations produced by striking the rim produce musical sounds. The most popular forms of Tibetan bowls are Tibetan singing bowl and Tibetan pray bowl.

The multi phonic sounds produced by Tibetan singing bowls are used for the treatment of a number of problems related to hearing. They are even a source of personal enjoyment and pleasure. Given below is the technique behind the production of multi phonic sounds by Tibetan singing bowls.

How Are The Multi Phonic Sounds Created?

A soft mallet is used to strike with the rim of bowl to produce the sound. Tibetan signing bowls produce harmonic sounds when striker strikes them. The striker is always a mallet but it can be wrapped by a number of things to produce multi phonic sounds. These things may include wood, leather or plastic. Thus one can get multiple sounds from the Tibetan singing bowls at the same time by using a wrapped mallet.
