Our Arhat series singing bowls are characterized by their authentic rustic design. These hand-wrought singing bowls from Nepal are made of a high-grade brass alloy and they are only polished inside and on the top edge of the outside. The rest of the outside is left with the original black surface of the forging process. The sustaining, fine sound rich in overtones sounds when struck or rubbed with the right mallet.
Which mallet fits best?
Actually, you can make any singing bowl sound with any of our mallets. However, it is recommended to choose the mallets according to the size of the singing bowl. In the overview in the article description above you will find our recommendations. The recommended mallets usually work fine with the next-smaller and next-bigger singing bowl as well.
However, there is one exception: with the two small singing bowls (300g and 500g), rubbing works only with the wooden mallets. The leather mallets are only suitable for striking with these two.
Singing Bowl Sizes:
Since all singing bowls are hand-wrought, the following sizes and weights are just approximations:
- 300 g (Ø 10 cm, height 5 cm)
- 500 g (Ø 13 cm, height 6 cm)
- 700 g (Ø 15 cm, height 8 cm)

With the singing bowl cushion, you can put your singing bowl centre stage – both acoustically and visually. Thanks to the firm filling, your singing bowl is stable yet airy on the square cushion. This allows it to vibrate for a particularly long time and its sound, which is rich in overtones, can unfold impressively.
The cushion is not only practical for striking, but also decorative. The square singing bowl cushion is decorated with four tassels and its shimmering fabric shines with gold and silver-coloured floral motifs. When you are not using your singing bowl, you can store it nicely on the cushion.
If the singing bowl cushion gets dirty, it can be cleaned by hand.
You can choose from the two colours and five sizes depending on your personal preference and the diameter of your singing bowl. We suggest the following sizes:
Singing bowl Ø approx. 7-12 cm: Micro (12×12 cm)
Singing bowl Ø approx. 10-18 cm: Mini (14×14 cm)
Singing bowl Ø approx. 12-20 cm: Small (18×18 cm)
Singing bowl Ø approx. 15-30 cm: Medium (21x21cm)
Singing bowl Ø approx. 28-34 cm: Large (24×24 cm)
