FAQs

How do you choose a singing bowl mallet?

Choosing the right mallet for your sound bowl depends on the size of the bowl and the type of sound you wish to create. Here are some tips to help you choose:

  1. For Small Bowls (under 6 inches): A plain wooden stick or mallet without a leather wrap is ideal, as leather-wrapped mallets may not produce enough sound in smaller bowls.
  2. For Medium Bowls (6-8 inches): A leather-wrapped mallet or roller works well. The leather helps create a smooth, deep tone by heating the bowl as it strikes or rolls along the rim.
  3. For Large Bowls (8-13 inches): You can use either a roller or a drumstick. Rollers provide continuous, meditative tones, while drumsticks allow for stronger, more pronounced vibrations when struck.

For Very Large Bowls (over 13 inches): A drumstick is recommended. It produces powerful vibrations with a simple strike, making it easier to play without needing to roll along the rim.

How do you use a singing bowl mallet?

To use a singing bowl mallet, gently strike the side of the bowl for a clear, resonant tone, or rim the bowl by pressing the mallet firmly against the outer edge and slowly rotating it around the circumference. Maintain consistent pressure and speed to sustain a steady vibration, allowing the bowl's sound to build gradually. Different mallets, like leather, rubber, or wooden, can produce varying tones, so experiment to find the sound that best suits your meditation or sound healing practice.

What are singing bowl mallets made of?

Singing bowl mallets are typically made from a variety of materials, depending on their type and purpose. Common mallets feature wooden handles, with the striking end covered in materials like leather, suede, felt, or rubber. Leather or suede-covered mallets are popular for both striking and rimming the bowl, while rubber mallets are often used for striking to produce a clear, bell-like tone. Felt mallets, commonly used for larger bowls, have soft felt heads that deliver a deep, resonant sound. Crystal mallets, designed for use with crystal singing bowls, may also feature rubber or suede ends.

What do you hit a singing bowl with?

You hit a singing bowl with a mallet or striker, which is typically made from wood, leather, suede, rubber, or felt. The choice of mallet affects the tone produced—leather and suede mallets are great for both striking and rimming, while rubber mallets are ideal for striking and creating bell-like tones. Felt mallets, often used for larger bowls, produce a deep, resonant sound when struck.
