The set arrives with the bowl, a matched cushion and a wooden striker, so there is nothing else to buy and nothing that is the wrong size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat matters more than it sounds. A bowl bought without a correctly sized cushion sits on a hard surface, which drains the vibration into the furniture and produces a short flat note instead of a sustained one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eThe Moon Phase Design\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe phases of the moon run around the outer wall of the bowl. 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 design is applied to the outer wall of the bowl and does not affect the playing surfaces, so the bowl is rimmed and struck exactly as a plain one would be.\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\u003eSize \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bowl is approximately 10.7cm across the rim. Total set weight is around 650g.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWipe the bowl with a dry soft cloth after handling. The cushion can be brushed clean, and it should be kept dry, since a damp cushion compresses and stops isolating the bowl properly.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Root \u0026 Still","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58554821804296,"sku":"tib-89","price":61.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1037\/7861\/5560\/files\/bG9jYWw6Ly9tZWRpYS8xUy84RS82MFIzMEMxSjY0Uks4RTFTLzk2NmM0ZjZkLmpwZw.jpg?v=1787826931","url":"https:\/\/rootandstill.com\/products\/moon-phase-singing-bowl-set-black-107cm929","provider":"Root \u0026 Still","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
