If you grip Tibetan Singing Bowls in your grip, it is left free to vibrate. Then, you can softly run a mallet across the edge of it. This is what generates the singing sensation, often used for Tibetan meditation. You can also quietly bump the side of the bowl. This makes a bell-like sound. Either method you play crystal singing bowls, it is the vibrations that create the sound, like if you press and slide your finger around the edge of a goblet. The pitch of the noise can vary depending on the bowl depth. Bowls can be as wide as 4 to twelve inches. You can also increase the mallet velocity to change the sound.
