Hand-hammered singing bowls
Beaten or hand hammered singing bowls are made by way of a complete hand hammering process. Every single singing bowl is carefully hand beaten, which requires several processes to finish up and shape it into a perfect hand hammered singing bowl.
In the making process, first the various composition of metals as raw materials are melted in furnace, depending on manufacturing needs such as for the making of bronze singing bowls or for seven metal singing bowls. The hot melted metal is removed from the furnace and poured into dice to prepare a metal mould for the various sizes and weights. Then, the round metal moulds are cut into round metal discs in required size and thickness. After that, these discs are hand beaten or hammered, after precise measurement and categorised for weight and sized bowls.
Regarding the hand hammering process of singing bowls, 4 to 5 metal discs are piled up, one on top of the other, and then heated to red-hot. The red-hot metal sheets are then hammered by a group of expert artisans, as long as the heat remains in the metal, and then again processed to red-hot heating, for a continuous beating process. This heating and beating of the bundled and piled up metal discs continues until a desired shape and size is formed. (That is why the hammered or beaten singing bowls will be proportionately different in size and diameter with each individual singing bowl.) During the hammering process of these singing bowls, the metal disc can only be hammered during the time of being red-hot, while it remains soft and flexible. Because when the metal gets colder, it will lose its softness and flexibility, which in turn makes the metal brittle and thus the bowl could be ruined. The reason behind this intensive working process is that the metal content (bronze or seven metals mixture) is very sensitive to heat and gets harder when it loses its hot temperature and will get cracks and break.
