The making of singing bowls is an ancient tradition in Tibet and Nepal. This tradition is often passed down from father to son. The recipe for the metals in the singing bowls is often a secret and remains within the family. You could recognize the maker by the timbre of the sound.
Handmade singing bowl made of copper, tin and 8 precious metals (Ag, Ni, Cd, Ru, Pd, Pt,
Hammered singing bowls are made through an entirely manual process. Each singing bowl is carefully hammered into the correct shape, going through various stages to achieve the right form and a pure tone.
In this process, the different metals (copper, tin, iron, lead, gold, and silver) are first melted in a furnace, depending on what the final product requires (copper and tin = bronze) forming the main components for the bronze bowls, with very small percentages of the other metals for the seven-metal bowls.
The molten metal is then taken out of the furnace and poured into a mold, after which discs of various diameters and thicknesses are cut, which can then be further processed. Then, the discs are hand-hammered into the desired shape and size, after precise measurement and classification by weight. About five discs are first stacked on top of each other and heated in the furnace until red-hot, after which they are hammered one by one into a bowl shape using a mold.
The skilled craftsmen can only do this when the metal is red-hot, because if it cools too much, it becomes brittle and cracks can form, rendering the bowl unusable.
After the bowls have their rough shape, the intricate process of finishing begins. At this stage, each bowl gets its own shape and size, and again, a lot of fine hammering is involved, so the bowl must be heated red-hot again to get the exact shape and sound. After this, the bowls are individually sanded and polished inside and out, and possibly worked with chisels, for the finishing touch.
Please note: All our handmade singing bowls are sorted by weight. The stated diameter is intended as an initial indication, so you get an impression of the bowl's cross-section.
