Each of the metals corresponds to a different planet that emanates at a different frequency.

The frequency of sound with each singing bowl is uniquely different. There is many factors involved that effect the sound. For example, which metals created the bowl? The size of bowl, The size of mallet used to strike the bowl, if it is played alone or simultaneously with other bowls?

Making the bowl to sound or sing is done a few different ways. The two most common ways are

2. Gently hitting the outside of the bowl with a padded mallet creating an outward vibration.
