The Best Singing Bowls
Updated How we research
A singing bowl earns its place through sound: a clear strike tone that opens a sit, or a sustained ring produced by circling the rim with a mallet. Bowls vary in size, metal composition, and manufacture. Hand-hammered Himalayan-style bowls produce complex, layered tones, machine-made bowls sound cleaner and more consistent, and diameter shapes pitch, with larger bowls ringing deeper and longer. We listened for tone richness and sustain above all, then weighed ease of playing for beginners, included cushions and mallets, and overall finish. Smaller bowls suit desks and travel and are easier to make sing on the first try. Larger hand-hammered bowls reward patient technique with deeper resonance. Sets that include padded mallets and cushions offer the smoothest start for a first bowl.
