Here at Silence In Sound we have been delving deeply into the mysterious world of Himalayan Singing Bowls since the early 80s; our creative sound workshops blow the normal conventions of Singing Bowl-sound out of the water.

Today we continue to explore and create new sound textures that not only stir the soul but stimulate the mind.

Our workshops are limited to maximum four people, we believe in quality over quantity.

Looking forward to sharing our Original Singing Gongs again this year at The College of Sound Healing annual Conference ...

A wonderful example of blended Mani Bowls, played here using an Aspen Wood wand.

With the right tools and skilfull means of the practitioner, real sonic magic happens.

Continuing along the theme of dreaminess, here are three sets of matched paired Mani Bowls; this style is often referred to as Chama or Buddha Bowls or Elephants foot.

Mani bowls are characteristically, clear and loud, and when played in matched pairs they are sublime! They are also fabulous rim bowls, but without the “chatter”.

Typically paired Mani Bowls are typically priced in the region of £500 per pair.

Here is another example of how paired bowls can add a dreamy-like or hypnotic quality to your sound. These are 6” Manipuri pairs and are hand-selected by us here at Silence In Sound.

Here in our studio we try to persuade “beginner” clients to step away from notes and focus more on the sounds and textures.

Here are two different sets of antique Manipuri/cup bowls, each set is divided by octaves.

Quite interesting.

Singing bowl enthusiasts will know the hypnotic effects that paired bowls can have on the player and the listener. Here in our studio we are constantly using paired bowls to wondrous effect.

Here are two pairs of antique 6” Manipuri bowls; what do you think?
