Sound of Bengali bowls
Bengali bowls sound qualitatively very good, although they do not match the quality of therapy singing bowls from Peter Hess. They don't have to, because they are not intended for sound work. Their beautiful sound lies between singing bowl and gong.
Sound Sample1) with Felt Mallet FS2:
1) Sound samples can only convey the sound image of the singing bowls. The sound of a singing bowl depends on many factors such as metal composition, wall thickness, temperature, clapper used, etc. No singing bowl sounds exactly like another. A deviation in the sound of the singing bowl sent from the sound samples heard here is therefore not a defect.
Gold Seal Quality
All Bengali singing bowls from Peter Hess go through elaborate quality controls after manufacture. Here, the impact behavior and the sound is tested. Depending on the vibration behavior, the bowls are classified in gold or silver quality and provided with a seal. You will receive the higher quality gold Seal Bowls. The offer ranges from small bowls with only 200 g to bowls with 1.5 kg weight.
Applications
Because of their robustness combined with good sound, the bowls are very well suited for playful sound experiences with children. For example, striking water-filled Bengali singing bowls to experience small water fountains is popular. Many ideas for playful use of singing bowls are offered in the book by Peter Hess Singing Bowls - My Practical Companion.

- Introduction or ending of meditations.
- Accompaniment of fantasy journeys.
- Room cleaning through sound in Feng Shui
- Authentic, beautiful decorative object

To this bowl we recommend as additional accessories
- Rubber Ring GR100 to fix the singing bowl.
- Beater: For the perfect touch, the choice of beater is crucial. A large, soft felt mallet will produce lower notes than a small, hard felt mallet that produces higher notes. With a little practice, you can also make the Bengali singing bowl "sing" by rubbing the rim with a mallet. We recommend a leather-covered mallet. They produce a more beautiful sound compared to pure wooden mallets.
- Singing Bowl Cushion: A base ensures the free spread of the sound and vibrations. On a hard pad, the singing bowl would develop ambient noise. A base that is too soft, on the other hand, would cause the bowl to sink in and "swallow" the sound. Choose from large, small, thick and flat cushions.
