Make the water dance and the singing bowl sing and jump
This Chinese water singing bowl has its origins way back in the Han Dynasty. It is cast in bronze and, when struck correctly, can produce resonant waves and splashes that impress not only as a physical phänomen.
Procedure:
- Place the singing bowl on a solid surface and fill it to the top half with water.
- Moisten your hands and now begin to rub the two handles.
- It creates waves on the water surface, which can splash up to 50 cm high depending on technique and skill. At the same time pleasant sounds arise, which are generated by vibration.
Weight: approx 1.7 kg
Diameter: ca. 38 - 39 cm
Color: The patina of the water singing bowls may be greenish (as shown in the picture) or bluish in color, depending on the batch.
Tip: Playing the bowls requires some exercise and often does not succeed the first time. It is important that the hands are moistened with water and that you develop a sense of the right pressure on the graters. Once you have the hang of it, it is quite simple.
