We would like to share our many years of experience in the world of sound with you. In our sound guide you will not only learn which sound instruments are available – we also explain how to use singing bowls, gongs and co., how to care for them properly and give you a comprehensive insight into sound therapy.
Singing bowls differ not only in shape and materials, but also the way of use, the areas of application can be quite different. We have summarized our many years of expert knowledge for you and give you a lot of practical tips on how to use your singing bowl.
Singing bowls produce harmonic tones by rubbing and striking, which penetrate deep into the soul, body and spirit. There are bowls in different sizes and made of different materials. Our guide should help you to get to know the singing bowl types and their applications and to find the right singing bowl for you and your needs.
In order to enjoy the unique sound experience of a singing bowl, the correct application is crucial. The singing bowl itself, its placement, the technique of striking it, the choice of mallet, the space – all these have an effect on the intensity of the sound. Here we give you a few tips on how to use the full sound spectrum of your singing bowl.
Since a singing bowl is a utilitarian object that is frequently handled with the hands, contamination may occur on the surface. Also, the color of the shell may change over time. If you want to keep the golden shine, you should clean your singing bowl about every two months.
The Peter Hess® Therapy Singing Bowl series is optimally adapted to the needs of Peter Hess® Sound Massage and Peter Hess® Sound Methods. These singing bowls are available in different types, which address certain areas of the body particularly well. The individual types each have a characteristic shape and size, as well as sound and vibration quality.
Singing bowls originate from the East Asian region – from China, Japan and Burma. They were often used as signaling devices and everyday objects. In addition, the metal bowls were also used in monasteries as sacrificial vessels or by mendicant monks. They became widespread in Western culture with the hippie movement in the late 1960s. In our article we will give you a brief overview of the history of singing bowls.
The experience with a gong is always a very individual one. Playing techniques, choice of mallet and type of gong will determine how the sound experience affects your body and mind. In our gong guide, you’ll learn all about this impressive instrument and can further refine your playing practice with our tips.
Gongs differ in shape, size and materials used. Our guide will help you to get to know the different types of gongs and their applications and to find the right gong for you and your needs.
The full sound spectrum of your gong can unfold once you have gained experience with how to make it sound – whether with mallet or gong driver. The location of the gong and the choice of the mallet also play a crucial role. With our tips you can get the full sound out of your instrument both as a beginner and as an advanced player.
If you use your gong very regularly or if it has stood unprotected in the room for a long time, it is possible that a light coating will form on the surface after some time. This can be caused by frequent touching or can simply settle out of the air, much like the lubricating film on a window pane. To prevent your gong from changing luster or color, regular maintenance is important. We have summarized for you how to take care of your Feng Gong, TamTam Gong or other types of Gong.
Like singing bowls, gongs can be classified as metallideophones from a musicological point of view. They are among the oldest and most important musical instruments in Southeast Asia. Even with these instruments, experts are not in complete agreement as to their origin and use. In our article you will learn what is known so far.
Singing bowls and gongs can be made to sound with very different mallets and friction mallets. It’s not just the technology used that makes a big difference to the sound – the materials used to make mallets and rubbers also have a very fundamental effect on vibrations and tones. We explain the differences as well as the playing techniques and show you what else is important when choosing a mallet or friction mallet.
Many instruments are played with the help of a mallet. The different types of mallets also release very different tones – depending on the material used and the construction of the mallet. In this post you will learn about the different mallets available for singing bowls and gongs and how you can use them.
A mallet is used to beat, a friction mallet to create friction – but where are the differences in material and form? And how does all this affect the sound? We explain which different mallets and friction mallets are available for gongs and singing bowls and how to use the different variants correctly.
