Thank you! 😊 I finally broke down and bought one yesterday and had no clue how to do this. I figured KZbin was going to be helpful and here you are! Thank you so much! I can’t wait to make mine sing! Fingers crossed that it’ll help relieve my stress and anxiety 🤞🏻

[@BSWVI]

The"gathering" of the sound is amazing!!

[@bulledereve9824]

The small one sounds so nice 😊

[@melodieandante3409]

Amazing video, very very straight forward. Thank you!

[@seemabhardwaj9788]

Wow just awesome. Thankyou for d video

[@NeptuneReturnz]

I am bowl ed over!

[@kangputra9862]

I bought my singing bowl at a local market in Klungkung, BALI for only USD 20,- Now, I still learn how to make it singing pleasantly. This video is helping me a lot though. Thank you so much.... 🙏😊

[@robertbenjaminmoore1341]

Awesome demonstration! Thanks for this video.... It is very helpful 😎💓

[@himanirk2838]

My bowl is the smallest one I ve ever seen. I was on my trip in Shimla from where I bought it. The owner first handed showed me how to play it. It was foremost the most fascinating voice I ve ever heard..

[@ShinyFlakesShinyFlakes]

Oh

[@samuelmcmillan3276]

Great demonstration:-) and some helpful tips

[@matthewmorley261]

Why was the last part cut off?!?! Thats the bit i wanted to see/hear. I love the deep sounds the larger hand hammered bowls make. Can't wait to get my own one day when i visit Nepal.

[@ShinyFlakesShinyFlakes]

A portal was opened, a tear into another dimension. I hear the sounds.

[@melchampion3477]

Thank you!

[@julianagomides4239]

going to get one thanks

[@rongarcia3422]

Very helpful thnks🍚

[@dorothykelly8924]

Thank you

[@NamasteMle]

Loved the video, why was it cut off though? Was really hoping to hear the padded mallet drum stick :)

[@agoogolofgeese]

Still waiting for the end of this video 3 years later! 😂

[@Twonko]

Now 5 years. Should we prepare for disappointment?

[@luvl333y]

I definitely have to get me a handmade bowl!

[@leandroearth]

Nice,,, but would you try it with a smaller bowl? Mine it's too difficult to get the sound

[@ryangheejaymekim3262]

Can I buy the small one in the website below the video? Could you tell me which one it is?

[@Keithphotorama]

Would sound from a larger bowl last longer than a smaller bowl after being struck?

[@marybelleflores1374]

thank you! all the other videos weren't as helpful but now i know how to make my bowl sing

[@mokuho]

It should strike in the center of bowl?

[@xavierrose8208]

Use a couple of magic erasers as cushions :)

[@ryandunnells2925]

What happened at 6:11 mark?

[@realcountry2054]

hammer part was cut off???

[@pjsopinion8028]

Yes, a little disappointed that the video stopped. Tiffani you for the presentation though. ❤️

[@magnolia2]

What happened at the end????

[@victoria653]

Great thanks. I am going to order some. Not sure if i should get a set or start with just one. Can you tell me if i ordered just one. What one should i order first? THanks

[@oneminddharma]

Elizabeth here. I like HimalayanBowls.com. Our bowls in the meditation center are from them. You can listen to the sound of the bowl you get! Also their bowls sing pretty well compared with some of the bowls we have from other vendors. One is always a good start, and it can be fun to have a collection eventually.

[@Angel-nr8td]

Geez what happened to end bit of video

[@aashbose]

With smaller bowl machine cut..can u make the water ripple?

[@trillsalvi5249]

Mine is a little smaller than hers and I tried and I can’t make it ripple

[@carlpiano]

I can’t get my new, small singing bowl to ring, using circular motion. The minute I even lightly touch the side of the bowl, the tone is pretty much muted! What am I doing wrong? 😢

[@LatoyB]

Me too! Good question! Did you get it figured out?

[@kylo4633]

Are you going slow enough? Does the striker you’re using have felt or any padding

[@carlpiano]

@@kylo4633 I am going slowly... I think the problem is the base on which it sets. The bowl turns around when I’m trying to get it to sing, and also slides a bit, interrupting the process, for lack of a better way to phrase it.

[@LatoyB]

@@kylo4633 Yes I am going slow but it does have a little padding on the end

[@mokuho]

I want to ser how to strike the bowl 2:10

[@aimeevenzon5202]

There's a ritual words saying while you play the singing bowls?

[@pchemist]

"Tibetan" singing bowls aren't a historical ritual implement. They're not even Tibetan. You can use them with rituals, but there weren't any rituals used with the bowls.

[@littlebunbun3313]

My tool to make them sing doesn’t have felt could the wood work too or should I look into buying one with felt?

[@laurynCzech1111]

Definitely wrap them. I suggest using a soft, thin/broken in, piece of suede.

[@littlebunbun3313]

@@laurynCzech1111 Okay thank you for replying!!

[@starkaran8390]

You can go to woodprix if you would like to make it yourself guys.

[@unknowndrill5123]

cool thumbnail

[@chevymom9776]

Is it me or did the 3rd bowl not sing?

[@camajespa]

you won't hear it if you listen to it on your computer. you need a good headset to hear it.

[@karenrobinson2007]

Your video was cut Short...awe...😕
