Hand Hammered vs. Cast Singing Bowls: Finding Your Perfect Bowl
Singing bowls are known for their beautiful sounds and calming vibrations. But when choosing your own bowl, you might come across two main types, hand hammered and cast.
Hand Hammered:
Unique Sound. Each bowl is one-of-a-kind due to the hammering process, resulting in complex, rich tones with lingering overtones.
Traditional Craftsmanship:
Made by skilled artisans, these bowls are often seen as more valuable and collectible. Generally, more expensive due to the time and labor involved.
Cast:
Consistent Sound. The casting process creates bowls with predictable tones, making it easier to find a specific pitch. Often available in wider range of sizes and styles.
Choosing Your Bowl:
Sound Preference. If you value unique, layered sounds, go for hand hammered. If you prefer a clear, consistent tone, cast might be a better option. For meditation or sound therapy, either type can work. If playing music is your goal, cast bowls might be preferable for hitting specific notes. Ultimately, the best way to choose is to try both and see which resonates with you – in sound and feeling!
