How to 'sing' a bowl ~ Hold the bowl in the
palm of your hand or place on a bowl pillow. Rub the stick around the rim of the bowl, keeping the stick perpendicular and using a steady, even pressure toward the center of the bowl. As you do this you will feel the bowl begin to vibrate and the sound will start to come out. If the bowl begins to 'chatter', decrease the rate of the movement while keeping the pressure constant. As you become more adept, try reversing the direction of the stick as it is singing. You can also fill
the bowl with water to watch the wave patterns that are produced. Back to Singing Bowls Page |
