If you hold Tibetan Singing Bowls in your palm, it is free to vibrate. Then, you can gently slide a mallet across the edge of it. This is what generates the singing sensation, often used for Tibetan meditation. You can also softly tap the side of the bowl. This makes a bell-like chord. Either style you play crystal singing bowls, it is the vibrations that generate the sound, like if you press and slide your finger around the edge of a goblet. The pitch of the noise can be altered depending on the bowl density. Bowls can be as wide as 4 to 15 inches. You can also increase the mallet spin rate to change the sound.
