Thank you for playing your bowl with such care. In healing work, we don't usually mute the bowls, however, this is a great tip if you're a musician and playing a composed or studio piece. Enjoying your videos!
I truly appreciate your review and learned a lot. I look forward to more demonstration of crystal bowls. I have brass bowls but trying to learn about crystal bowls. Trying to hear the difference of what the all sound like. Thank you again.
I just found this video on my feed, probably because I've been watching some crystal bowl videos. So grateful for your explanation of how to play the crystal bowls. I just started learning how to play & the suede striker barely makes a sound whereas the rubber mallet does make a good sound. I think I need a crystal striker though. Thank you so much for this information. Will continue to watch! 👏👏👏
That's awesome you made a video of this man I love everything you've done when I quit my job here in a week or two I'm going to practice the bongos and the congas
The history of these is that they were originally used in the manufacturing of silicon microprocessor devices. As they acquired impurities, manufacturers would throw these away. Someone picked some out of the trash and figured out that they made a pretty sound. :-)
I've been somewhat afraid of the fragility of a crystal bowl, but I have owned three metal singing bowls for years - one handmade the Old School way in Nepal and two more from a very unlikely source - an auto parts store. I found two old Ford (I think) brake drums, very uncomplicated things with no external cooling fins. Although they had the same part number, they have slightly different pitches when rubbed by a suede striker. The Nepalese bowl, being handmade, isn't perfectly round, so a continuous rubbing gives a slight variety to the tone. The machine-made brake drums are absolutely consistent. Imagine, if you will, the look on the store clerk's face when I tested the brake drums for tone on his counter.
Love this! Amazon has a crystal bowl but with a rubber mallet as striker - I'd love to know the difference between the usage and sounds? And thanks for this video, I'm feeling so inspired to incorporate this instrument!
I just bought my very first crystal bowl and I got a wooden striker with a silicone sleeve. Thank you for these important tips!
The sustain of that is mind blowing!!
It is. That's one reason I went with the upgrade.
i thought it was fake until I did it myself.
The music was lovely. Thank you so very much, Christine!

For handmade singing bowls maayaa healing school is best in Rishikesh.they have own manufacturing I bought my 7 bowls set few years back.
It sounds like guitar feedback when you stand in front of the amp. Very lovely sound.
Just stumbled into your channel. I’m loving it! Do you think we would see more of these if they came with the dog?

Awesome sound... I was mesmerised!🥰
Was it an optical illusion or was there water in and under the bowl? If so, what purpose does it serve?
For me, the suede sounded better when the bowl already reached its peak volume, but thr silicone didnt have the hissing at the beginning.
Wow..
Where do you find tables to place them on to play if you can’t sit in the floor
Where can we get the crystal striker?? 🙏🏽 thx
😌Sudden deafness🦻🏻me👏🏻👏🏻
Am I the only one who was thinking about This is Spinal Tap with the sustain?
Better tuned to 432 hz.
Thought you were doing some drugs for a moment there
