The lunar cycle is one of the oldest images of change and return, which is why it appears so often on objects made for practice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe engraving is worked into the metal rather than printed onto it, so it will not wear off with handling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eHow to Play It\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRest the bowl on the cushion supplied or on an open flat palm, keeping your fingers straight so nothing damps the wall of the bowl. Run the striker firmly and slowly around the outside of the rim in a continuous circle until the tone builds and sustains.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou can also strike the rim once for a single clear tone, which is how most people use a bowl to open and close a sitting. Finding the right pressure and speed takes a little practice, and a slower circle usually works better than a faster one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSound \u0026amp; Weight\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt approximately 750g in a 15cm bowl the wall is substantial, which gives a fuller and lower note than a lighter bowl of the same diameter would produce.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWeight is the most reliable guide to tone. Two bowls of the same width can sound quite different if one carries more metal than the other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eSize \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eApproximately 15cm across the rim, around 750g. Wipe with a dry soft cloth after handling and keep away from damp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDo not soak or put it in a dishwasher. A greasy rim makes the striker skip rather than grip, and a clean dry rim is most of what makes a bowl easy to play.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Root \u0026 Still","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58554820854024,"sku":"tib-121","price":172.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1037\/7861\/5560\/files\/bG9jYWw6Ly9tZWRpYS9ITS9BRC82MFIzMEMxSDc0VzNBREhNLzI4ODQ2Y2Y2LmpwZWc.jpg?v=1787826927","url":"https:\/\/rootandstill.com\/products\/medium-indian-moon-phase-singing-bowl-approx-750g-15cm924","provider":"Root \u0026 Still","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
