How to use it
Set it on a flat, firm floor — not on carpet, and not on a table. The point of a bowl this size is that the floor becomes part of the instrument, and a soft surface cancels most of what you paid for.
To play it with someone standing inside, strike the outer wall gently and low, then let it build. Start far quieter than you think necessary; the vibration is felt before it is heard and the first stroke sets the tolerance for the session.
Played conventionally, strike the rim and circle slowly with a large mallet. The bigger the bowl, the slower the circle — rushing a 5 kg bowl produces a rattle, not a note.

✨ Temple Tip
Play this one barefoot on a wooden floor. Bronze at this weight puts as much into the boards as it does into the air, and shoes remove the better half of the experience.
