Description

Balanced, versatile, and easy to integrate into different practice settings, our Medium Size Singing Bowl 17/18 cm belongs to the middle range of our Sound Bath & Meditation selection.

At this size, the bowl begins to offer more body, depth, richer overtones, and longer sustain than smaller formats, while remaining very easy to play and highly responsive. It can produce a clear and stable tone with a broader presence in the space, making it especially useful for meditation, yoga, individual Sound Therapy sessions, and group Sound Bath work.

This is one of the most practical sizes for practitioners who want a bowl that can function well both on its own and within a wider set. Compared with smaller bowls, it brings more support and continuity to the sound field. Compared with larger bowls, it remains lighter, more agile, and easier to handle in a variety of session contexts.

Within a set, this size helps connect brighter upper tones with deeper supporting tones, contributing to a more balanced and coherent sonic space. Used on its own, it can already provide a satisfying sense of presence for personal practice or smaller-format sessions.

This bowl has been selected by Jorge Zain for its acoustic behavior and for the practical role it can play in meditation, sound bath work, and sound-based sessions. Like all our bowls, it is handcrafted using traditional forging and hammering techniques, which gives each piece its own sonic character.

What is the best way to use this bowl?

This size is especially useful for practitioners looking for a versatile singing bowl.

It can work very well as a first bowl because it offers a strong balance between clarity, sustain, presence, and ease of use. It is suitable for personal meditation, yoga practice, individual Sound Therapy sessions, and group Sound Bath settings.

Within a larger set, it helps create continuity between smaller, brighter bowls and larger, deeper bowls. For a clear and stable response, we recommend using the wooden side of the mallet when making the bowl sing.

Can this bowl be used on the body?

This bowl is not selected for sound massage or for direct vibroacoustic work on the body.

Because each handcrafted bowl is unique, some medium-size bowls — especially thinner pieces — may produce lower frequencies and a light vibration that can be perceived by the body. However, these bowls are not in the range we recommend for sound massage work.

If you are looking for bowls specifically selected for direct work on the body, we recommend our Vibroacoustic Singing Bowls for Sound Massage collection.

How do I choose the right size?

Medium singing bowls generally offer a more balanced relationship between pitch, sustain, and presence.

Smaller bowls tend to sound brighter, lighter, and more focused. Medium bowls usually provide more body, a longer-lasting tone, and a broader sense of support in the sound field, while still being easy to handle and highly versatile.

This 17/18 cm bowl is a strong option if you want a bowl that can function well both as part of a set and as a satisfying instrument for standalone use.

Are larger bowls always better?

No.

Larger bowls are not necessarily better. They simply serve a different role.

Medium bowls are often appreciated because they combine clarity, sustain, versatility, and ease of use in a very practical way. The best choice depends on the kind of sound you want to create, the setting in which you work, and whether you want the bowl to function mainly on its own or as part of a larger set.

Are these bowls made of “7 metals”?

The idea of “7 metal bowls” is common in the market, but it is not a reliable indicator of sound quality or function.

What matters most is the acoustic behavior of the bowl: its tone, overtone richness, pulsation, response, and sustain.

Each bowl in our selection is chosen for its sonic performance and practical use, not for symbolic or marketing-based classifications.
