Characteristics of Tibet Import Tibetan Bowls

  • There are various grades of bowls; the “7 Metals” denomination represents the highest quality.
    Each artisan has their own unique metal composition formula to achieve the best possible sound.

  • Our 7-metal Tibetan Bowls are handmade, hammered, and shaped by hand.
    Small imperfections on the surface and visible hammer marks are signs of genuine craftsmanship and soft, malleable metal, which allow for rich, deep, and enduring vibrations.

  • Copper is the main element, responsible for the vibration, giving the sound depth, duration, and intensity.

  • Our bowls are made with a notably thick wall, which is intentional, as thickness directly influences the resonance and sustain of the sound.

Your First Bowl:
We recommend that your first bowl be a versatile one — a size between 700 g and 1.2 kg is usually the most suitable.

Relationship Between Size and Sound in Tibetan Bowls:
Bowls weighing less than 500 grams produce high-pitched tones, while larger bowls create deeper sounds.

Playing or “singing” a Tibetan bowl is not always easy — it requires some technique. Start by making circular movements with light but steady pressure. As you increase the pressure, you’ll begin to hear a faint sound. Once you have that initial tone, continue increasing the pressure to amplify it.
It’s important to ensure the mallet doesn’t vibrate, which can be achieved by maintaining consistent pressure between the mallet and the bowl.

Types of Tibetan Bowls from Tibet Import

There are various quality levels of bowls:

  • 7 Metals: The highest quality, made of approximately 85% copper, 15% tin, and traces (1%) of other metals such as iron.

  • 5 Metals: Contain more tin, producing sharper tones with shorter resonance.

  • Aluminum: The most affordable option, often painted in bright Buddhist colors.

For therapeutic purposes, such as sound therapy, we recommend the 7-metals quality.
