Tibetan Singing Bowls

Tibetan singing bowls, dating from 560 A.D. and used in Buddhist meditation, are large bowls played by striking the rim of the bowl with a padded mallet, or by rubbing the rim with various items to create friction.

The “singing” refers to the fact that they produce harmonic overtones creating the effect of up to three notes sounding simultaneously.

Quite a trick!
