Tibetan Singing Bowl of 16 cm.

The Tibetan Singing Bowl is a meditation instrument first used by Buddhist monks and now used by many people for relaxation.

Made of brass and copper plating, it is traditionally made of 7 metals representing the 7 chakras and planets of our solar system: Gold, silver, copper, tin, iron, mercury and lead .

The sound of these bowls occurs by hitting them with a mallet and turning the mallet around them. The bigger the bowl, the louder the sound. Two bowls of the same size may have a different sound depending on their shape and alloy.
