Tibetan Singing Bowl

[funkytheyayoo25]

The rod must be agitating the surface of the bowl through friction. It seems to be resonating with the natural frequency of the instrument. High pitched sound breaking a wine glass is another instance of natural frequency usage btw.

this is not a tibetan singing bowl it is a Japanese temple gong used in meditation.

[Jackimooz]

Is it possible to make them yourself?

[EducateInnovate]

@Jackimooz You can try different metals and see what kind of resonance you can get out of them. Different materials will produce radically different tones, much like how you can make music by running a wet finger along the rim of a wine glass. In fact, each of our Tibetan Singing Bowls has a slightly different sound, due to its unique shape and metal content.

@EducateInnovate Okay :P Thanks

[RedRay81]

or buy a wine glass pet it put a little bit of water in it than wet your finger and pub it on the rim

[EducateInnovate]

@RedRay81 True, but this makes a very different sound.

[RGBeyondApex]

It actually spawns a demon, so be careful when using it.

[DragonsTooth]

Would it still work if you filled it full of fruit?

PS. If you decide to make another video featuring the magic bowl will you show us?

[mylvl200wizardpwnsjk]

what if you smack it with the stick?

[EducateInnovate]

@mylvl200wizardpwnsjk It makes a loud, bell-like ringing noise if you hit it with the stick.
