Crystal Singing Bowls, Himalayan Bowls, Gongs and Handpans: What Does Each Instrument Add?

Sound doesn't have to come from one instrument. At Sound With Sri, different instruments are used to create different textures of sound. Each one brings something different to the listening experience.

Himalayan singing bowls

Also commonly called Tibetan singing bowls, these metal bowls create rich, layered tones. Their sound can be gentle and sustained.

Crystal singing bowls

Crystal bowls have a distinctly clear and resonant quality. Their sustained tones can create a very open soundscape.

Gong

A gong can create a much broader field of sound, with layers of resonance, movement and changing texture.

Handpan

The handpan brings rhythm and melody into the experience. Its rounded, warm tones create a different quality of listening from a singing bowl.

Ocean drum

The ocean drum creates the sound of moving water through small objects contained inside the drum. It can introduce a softer, more textural quality.

There isn't one perfect sound. A sound can be bright or deep, rhythmic or sustained, delicate or expansive. The invitation is simply to listen.
