Singing Bowls Accessories: F (Fa)
This category covers the accessories that go with your singing bowl practice — mallets and cushions, sized and matched to the bowl they're paired with.
We carry a range of striking mallets and rubbing sticks, since the right mallet has a real, audible effect on tone. Every singing bowl purchased from us includes the appropriate mallet at no extra cost — you won't need to buy one separately to start playing.
A few basics on playing technique: hold the bowl on a flat, open palm, or set it on a cushion or other soft surface. Keep your hand on the base — avoid contact with the sides, since that dampens the vibration and mutes the sound. These bowls are metal, but they're not indestructible; they respond well to careful handling and poorly to rough treatment.
Mallet choice matters more than most people expect. Smaller bowls need a smaller, firmer mallet — a soft or oversized mallet on a small bowl tends to produce a weak, underwhelming tone. Larger bowls need the opposite: a larger, softer mallet draws out the full range of overtones, while a mallet that's too small or firm will leave a lot of the bowl's tonal complexity untapped. If a bowl of yours sounds thin or one-dimensional, the mallet is often the first thing worth changing.
Every bowl we sell comes with a properly matched mallet, whether you're just starting out or refining an established practice.
