Description

In Tibetan tradition, singing bowls have accompanied meditation, healing practices, and ritual moments of stillness for centuries. Their sound is not accidental, but the result of careful work by skilled artisans who shape the metal blow by blow.

The Kopre singing bowl is made from an alloy of five metals, traditionally gold, silver, copper, iron, and tin, which together produce a warm, harmonious tone. Each metal contributes to the richness of the sound and gives the bowl its characteristic resonance. The hand-beaten finish is not only visible but audible, as each bowl sounds slightly different, making it a unique piece.

Its lightweight design makes it particularly well suited for longer meditation sessions and sound therapy.

Symbolism & Meaning

Singing bowls have accompanied the Tibetan tradition for centuries, in meditation, in ritual moments of stillness and in sound work. Their tone is not left to chance but worked out by hand, strike by strike, until the sound carries. The joining of several metals stands in this tradition for many-sidedness and balance, a sound that holds many facets within it. On the altar or during practice, the singing bowl becomes a quiet companion that opens the space for attention.

How to use

For the full sound, run the wooden striker evenly around the outer rim until the tone builds and begins to carry. For a short, clear note, a gentle strike on the rim is enough. Use the singing bowl at the beginning or end of your meditation, to open the space or to let the sitting close gently. During practice, a single note can also serve as an anchor for the breath. The silk cushion supplied protects the bowl and keeps it steady.

Materials & Dimensions

All measurements are taken by hand, so small variations are possible. The shape and colour of the striker and cushion may also vary slightly, and each set is individual.

Care Instructions

Clean the singing bowl when needed with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid water, polish and strong cleaning agents, as these can affect the surface and the sound. Keep the bowl in a dry place and protect it from knocks. The silk cushion can easily be shaken out; if needed, clean it carefully by hand.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I bring the bowl to sound?

Run the wooden striker evenly around the outer rim; the tone builds slowly and begins to carry. For a short, clear note, a gentle strike on the rim of the bowl is enough. With a little practice you will soon find the rhythm that suits you.

What is the five-metal alloy, and why does every bowl sound different?

The Kopre singing bowl is made from an alloy of five metals: gold, silver, copper, iron and tin. Each metal contributes to the sound in its own way. Because every bowl is hammered by hand, no two sound alike, and each piece has its own character.

What is included?

You receive the singing bowl, a wooden striker and a silk brocade cushion as a stable base. The shape and colour of the striker and cushion may vary slightly, as each set is put together by hand.
