Traditional Manufacturing
Nepal is located in the famous Himalayan Mountains and has a long tradition of singing bowl manufacturing. The manufacturing is done in small workshops and is a sweaty affair. The composition of the metal is a secret and has a significant effect on the sound quality.
First, a metal disc is made to glow. Then, several men drive the shell out of the disc by hand, bit by bit, with great force and skill, using hammers. As usual in blacksmithing, many operations of annealing and driving are necessary until the final shape is achieved.
Finally, the shell is smoothed before it receives its beautiful luster by extensive re-polishing by hand. After more than 30 hours, the shell is then ready.
Due to the handwork and the changing composition of the metal, each singing bowl never sounds exactly like the other.
