What it is
Small Black Beaten Bowl - 14cm is a 14cm metal singing bowl. Struck or circled around the rim with a mallet, it produces a sustained tone with layered overtones that slowly fades.
From the maker: This small, black, beaten singing bowl offers a clean, focused sound wrapped in a dark, understated finish. The softly textured surface gives it a tactile, contemporary look while keeping the form simple and balanced.
Materials and size
Size: approximately 14cm. Allow for small variations between batches.
Traditional uses
Engraved designs such as mandalas, the Om symbol or the Buddha are decorative and devotional; they reflect the traditions the bowls come from. Singing bowls are linked with the Himalayan region. Bowls made there have in long-standing practice been hand-hammered or cast from metal alloys, and many carry engraved mantras or symbols. These are traditions and beliefs, described for interest, not health or medical claims.
How to use it
Set the bowl on a cushion or your flat, open palm.
Tap the outside wall softly with the mallet to wake the bowl.
Circle the rim slowly with even pressure; once it starts to sing, keep the speed steady.
For a softer sound, strike rather than rub, and let each tone fade fully.
Gifting idea: a ready-to-play set is a thoughtful present for a yoga teacher or a friend starting meditation.
Display idea: between sessions, a bowl on its cushion makes a striking shelf or altar piece.
Session idea: strike once at the start of a meditation and let the tone fade completely before you begin.
Care
Wipe with a smooth, dry cloth after use; skin oils can mark the metal.
Who it suits
Best for people starting a meditation or yoga practice.

What is a singing bowl used for?
Singing bowls are by custom used in meditation, yoga and sound practice. The sustained tone is used as a point of focus and to mark the start and end of a session. We describe this as a practice, not a treatment.
How do you make a singing bowl sing?
Rest the bowl on a cushion or open palm, tap the side once, then run the mallet slowly around the outside of the rim with steady pressure. The tone builds after a few rotations.
What size singing bowl should I buy?
For a first bowl, 12–18cm is a good balance: easy to hold and play, with a full tone. Smaller bowls sound higher; larger bowls are deeper and sustain longer.
How do you clean a singing bowl?
Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid abrasive metal polish, especially on painted or engraved bowls, and store it somewhere dry.
Why won't my singing bowl sing?
Usually the pressure or speed is uneven, or something is touching the bowl. Slow down, press more firmly, keep your fingers off the walls and make sure it sits freely on the cushion.
