## Description

Singing Bowl Velvet Cushion - 16cm is an accessory for playing or displaying a singing bowl. The right striker or cushion changes how easily a bowl sings and how long the note sustains.

At around 16cm this is the large, statement option: a centrepiece for a dresser, altar or sound space. Large pieces hold a whole collection of stones or jewellery and give the deepest, fullest presence in a room.

From the maker: The softly padded form reduces movement and protects surfaces during use. With a diameter of 16cm, it is well-suited to larger bowls used in meditation, sound work, or display.

This is one of 3 options in the Singing Bowl Velvet Cushion range; nearby choices include 7cm, 11cm.

Size: approximately 16cm. Allow for small variations between batches.

## Traditions (belief, not health claims)

Strikers are wrapped in leather, suede or felt; softer wraps give a warmer, rounder tone, while bare wood brings out brighter overtones. We share these as cultural traditions and personal beliefs only, never as health claims.

## How to use

- For rim playing, use a leather- or suede-wrapped striker and keep even pressure as you circle.
- Match the cushion diameter to the base of your bowl so it sits level.
- Group idea: in sound baths, players space bowls of different sizes around the room for layered tones.
- Practice tip: record yourself playing on your phone; it is the quickest way to hear whether your pressure is steady.
- Neighbour tip: rim playing is quieter than striking if you live in a flat.

## Care

- Keep wooden strikers away from heat and water to steer clear of warping.
