Double Thickness Copper Singing Bowl Deep Resonance

Description

A single strike sends a tone through the room that continues long after the mallet has lifted, layering into a deep resonance that shifts the quality of the air around it.

Singing bowls have been produced in the Himalayan region, particularly in Nepal and Tibet, for centuries, used in Buddhist ritual, sound practice, and meditation as instruments for marking transitions and sustaining focused attention. The craft of bowl-making in this tradition involves precise metal proportions and hand-hammering techniques passed between generations of smiths. Copper and bronze alloys are the most commonly used metals, selected for their acoustic properties alongside their visual qualities.

This bowl is cast in double-thickness copper, a construction that produces a richer, more sustained tone than standard single-wall bowls. The increased wall mass gives the bowl greater acoustic projection and a longer vibration decay. The bowl is supplied with a mallet. The exterior shows the warm reddish-orange of copper; the interior carries either a cast or hand-worked finish depending on the individual piece.

Specific dimensions are not listed. The bowl is double-thickness cast copper. Strike the rim with the included mallet, or circle the rim with steady pressure to sustain tone. Clean with a soft dry cloth; avoid submerging in water or using acidic cleaners.

This bowl is used by sound practitioners, yoga teachers, and individuals for personal meditation practice. The double-wall construction is its defining functional feature and the basis of its acoustic performance.
