The Peter Hess Bengali singing bowl has a bowl-like shape, a dark surface, and a distinctive, gong-like tone. It is available in various sizes and in Classic or Premium quality.
The present tone can be used to open a meditation, mark a transition, or gather attention in a space. The actual tone and resonance vary from one hand-forged bowl and mallet to another, as well as from one space to another.
Three sizes
- 70: approximately 700 g, compact and direct.
- 100: approximately 1,000 g, a balance between manageability and sound volume.
- 150: approximately 1,500 g, more powerful and generally with a longer sustain.
The weights are guidelines. Handcrafting causes slight differences in shape, surface, weight, and tone.
Classic or Premium?
Both quality levels are crafted and inspected. Premium pieces are more strictly selected for their tone, vibrational behavior, and finish. Classic offers an accessible introduction to the characteristic Bengali soundscape; Premium is suitable for more intensive or specific use.
What can the bowl be used for?
- personal sound meditation
- guided imagery and guided exercises
- yoga and gentle movement
- group moments at a tailored, pleasant volume
- building a set with different pitches
The product is not a medical device. Sound can accompany a routine, but no therapeutic results are promised.
How to strike the Bengali singing bowl
- Place the bowl on a suitable, soft surface.
- Use a mallet that suits the size and application.
- Strike the rim or outer surface in a controlled and gentle manner.
- Withdraw the mallet so the bowl can vibrate freely.
- Allow the sound to develop fully before striking again.
Listening exercise with fundamental tone and overtones
After one gentle strike, first listen to the most prominent fundamental tone. Then shift your attention to the higher, finer overtones. Finish with a few seconds of silence. This simple exercise requires no prior meditation experience.
Which Bengali version is right for you?
- Choose size 70 when manageability and a direct sound signal are priorities.
- Size 100 offers a middle ground in terms of weight, volume, and resonance.
- Choose size 150 when a more powerful soundscape with a longer sustain is desired.
- Classic is an accessible choice; Premium is for those seeking an even more strictly selected tone and finish.
- Compare it with the Zen singing bowl if you prefer a brighter, more compact sound character.
Care and safety
- clean with a soft, dry, or slightly damp cloth
- dry completely afterwards
- protect from falling and hard edges
- store only on a suitable surface
- choose a pleasant volume for groups and sensitive hearing
