Materials and size
Size: approximately 12cm. Allow for small variations between batches.
Traditional uses
Himalayan bowl players traditionally rest a bowl on a cushion or ring so the rim vibrates freely; a bowl held against a hard surface is quickly muted. Strikers are wrapped in leather, suede or felt; softer wraps give a warmer, rounder tone, while bare wood brings out brighter overtones. These are traditions and beliefs, described for interest, not health or medical claims.
How to use it
- Match the cushion diameter to the base of your bowl so it sits level.
- For rim playing, use a leather- or suede-wrapped striker and keep even pressure as you circle.
- Session idea: strike once at the start of a meditation and let the tone fade completely before you begin.
- Yoga idea: teachers often sound a bowl or bells to open savasana or to mark the close of class.
- Home idea: a short sound practice after work is a simple way to mark the switch from work to rest.
Care
- Brush cushions to remove dust and keep them out of damp storage.

Leather- or suede-wrapped strikers are easiest for making a bowl sing around the rim. Felt or padded mallets give a smooth struck tone, and bare wood gives a brighter sound.
