Because the bowls differ in size they differ in pitch, which lets you work with more than one note without buying three separate bowls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA graduated set is the usual starting point for anyone moving from a single bowl toward sound work, since the intervals between the bowls are what most of the practice is built on.\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\u003ePlaying Three Bowls\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost people start by striking each bowl in turn from largest to smallest and listening to how the notes sit against one another. Rimming is harder with several bowls in front of you, so strike work usually comes first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKeep the bowls separated on the surface rather than nested. A bowl touching another bowl will be damped and will not sustain properly.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWeight \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTotal weight of the set is approximately 1220g. Store the bowls separately rather than stacked, since brass rubbing on brass marks over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWipe with a dry soft cloth after handling. Brass darkens gradually with air and use, which most people prefer to a bright polish.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Root \u0026 Still","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58554820198664,"sku":"tib-54","price":128.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1037\/7861\/5560\/files\/bG9jYWw6Ly9tZWRpYS85Ui9DRS82MFIzMEMxRzY4VEtDRTlSLzNmYjA4NWVlLmpwZWc.jpg?v=1787826923","url":"https:\/\/rootandstill.com\/products\/set-of-3-handmade-brass-singing-bowls921","provider":"Root \u0026 Still","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
