Details
This suede-wrapped wooden ringing stick or striker is best used with small to medium singing bowls. It can be used for both the striking and rimming methods of playing. The soft suede surface produces deeper, less-harsh and more ethereal sounds while the wooden surface produces higher and brighter tones.
Directions for Use
Rimming Method- Hold the bowl on the flat of your palm. Ensure that your palm does not mute the bowl or prevent it from vibrating freely.
- Applying even pressure, rub the ringing stick clockwise around the rim of the bowl.
- Experiment with the wood and suede surfaces, the speed of moving the ringing stick, the angle of contact and the amount of pressure until you are satisfied with the tone and volume.
- It is important to apply even pressure using your arm instead of your wrist.
Striking Method
- Hold the bowl on the flat of your palm or place it on a singing bowl ring cushion. Ensure that your palm does not mute the bowl or prevent it from vibrating freely.
- Using either the wood or suede surface, strike the singing bowl at the rim from the side.
- Do not strike too far down or from above as the bowl will not vibrate properly.
- The harder you strike, the louder and more powerful the tone.
- Do not strike too hard as the sound will become metallic and unpleasant.
