Do the singing bowls require any maintenance?

Where are your singing bowls made?
Our singing bowls are handcrafted by local artisans in Nepal and India, using traditional methods passed down through generations.
What are your singing bowls made of?
All of our singing bowls are made from a metal alloy sourced locally from the Himalayas. We ensure that our bowls are lead-free for your safety.
Why are your gold-colored bowls more expensive than the others?
Our gold-colored bowls are crafted from a premium metal alloy, which is more expensive than the alloy used for our brown and bronze bowls. Additionally, these bowls are made using a traditional hand-hammering process, which involves heating and shaping the metal by hand. This meticulous process makes them more valuable and authentic, reflecting ancient craftsmanship techniques.
What comes in a singing bowl set?
Each singing bowl set includes:
- A beautifully crafted singing bowl
- An exclusively designed striker
- A small pillow to rest the bowl on
Can I choose the color of my pillow?
The pillow color is usually selected to complement the overall set. However, if you’d like a specific color, you can order a custom singing bowl set. With custom orders, you can choose the bowl size, pillow color, and striker style to suit your preferences.
Are your products ethically sourced?
Yes, all of our products are ethically sourced. We ensure:
- Minimum environmental impact during production
- Fair treatment and fair wages for all artisans (who are also our friends!)
- Sustainable practices at every step
Each purchase supports local artisans in Nepal and contributes to their recovery from the devastating earthquake years ago. While we don’t typically highlight this in marketing, we deeply appreciate how your purchases help sustain their hard work.
What note will my bowl play when struck and when resonating?
Since our singing bowls are handmade, the note varies from bowl to bowl. Common notes include B, F, G, and E, with most hand-hammered bowls tuned to B.
If you’d like a bowl tuned to a specific note, we welcome custom orders to meet your needs.
Is it best to get a singing bowl that corresponds to each chakra for chakra healing?
Yes, this is ideal for chakra healing. Each of the seven primary chakras responds to different sound frequencies. For chakra-specific practices, you’ll need bowls tuned to exact notes.
Our singing bowls are primarily designed for meditation, but some, like our Hand-Hammered B Crown Chakra Tibetan Singing Bowl Set, are crafted specifically to influence the Crown chakra. Machine-made bowls, such as the Antique Design, cover a range of notes including B, F, G, and E.
