Authentic Hand-Hammered Tibetan Singing Bowl Set

• The iconic cast Tibetan singing bowl — clear, bright, incredibly responsive, and easy to play whether it's your first bowl or one of many.
• Each singing bowl is individually hand cast by skilled 3rd and 4th generation artisans in Patan, in the Kathmandu Valley, then finished with a hand-hammered surface and etched rim.
• Produces a strong, focused tone and includes a handcrafted cushion, striker, and DharmaShop keepsake bag.

If you picture a singing bowl in your mind, it probably looks a lot like this one. This is the bowl so many people start with for a reason. Cast bowls respond quickly to the striker, produce a bright, clear tone, and are especially easy to sing around the rim, making them a natural choice for meditation, relaxation, sound practice, or simply learning how to play.

What makes ours special is that the familiar design is still made by hand.

Each bowl begins in a small casting mold prepared by hand. Artisans tightly pack a sand-clay mixture around the form of the bowl, creating a mold that casts two bowls at a time. Molten metal is then carefully poured into the prepared mold and allowed to cool, forming the basic shape of the bowl. Once removed from the mold, the bowl is tuned and polished by hand, and the surface is individually hammered to create its distinctive texture and finish.

It's a hands-on process from start to finish, giving each bowl the subtle differences and character you only get from something made by hand.
