How to play a Frosted Singing Bowl? You need to merely put them on a solid surface, on top of the supplied rubber o-ring, strike the bowl gently a few times to 'get the vibration started' and then move the supplied mallet around the top edge of the bowl while holding firm against the outside edge. After a few circles the bowl will begin to 'sing'. Their singing reverberates after you have stopped playing them as if they are alive and singing all by themselves. Follow the way above, and practice it every day. Believe you could play it very well soon.
Frosted Singing Bowl is a classic type of the crystal singing bowls. Here is a short on history of the original singing bowls. They were in use even before the Buddha (Shakyamni 560-480 B.C.) The Bon religion, from Tibet long before Buddhism, apparently originated the use of singing bowls then made from an unknown material, presumed to be a metal alloy. Since that time they have been made from different materials, including brass, gold, glass, and recently, quartz crystal. They can also be made of other stones, such as ruby, amethyst, and rose quartz but pure quartz has the special quality of high magnification.
