The singing bowl, also known as the "singing bowl", is an ancient musical instrument originating from the pre-Buddhist shamanic Bon Po Himalayan culture that reigned in ancient Tibet. It subsequently spread throughout Asia: today they are mostly produced in Nepal in the Thado region
The Tibetan bell is made up of seven metal alloys, where each metal refers to a specific planet in the solar system:
     Gold = Sun
     Silver =Moon
     Mercury= Mercury
     Copper = Venus
     Iron = Mars
     Tin = Jupiter
     Lead = Saturn
  This characteristic has made them widely used for religious purposes, for rites and meditations, given the psychotropic effect that the vibrating sound has on the human mind. Tibetan bowls produce a pure sound and a harmonious vibration and are for this reason used as vibrational instruments. Their origin dates back to approximately 3 thousand years ago or to a historical phase prior to the birth of Buddhism.
In that period, according to what legend states, a ritual was practiced which gave gongs, bells and cymbals both the ability to heal the body and the power to bring man closer to divinity. From the second half of the 20th century this object was also welcomed into Western culture and began to be appreciated above all as a therapeutic tool.
The sound produced by a Tibetan bowl also depends in part on the metals present in it: what the perfect mixture is, however, is still a mystery. The stick used to produce the vibrations is made of wood, generally covered at the end with chamois leather. The size of this item may vary depending on the size of the bell.
