How to Play
Set up: Put the cushion on a flat, stable surface and rest the bowl on it. You can also hold the bowl on a flat, open palm. Keep your fingers off the walls so they do not dampen the sound.
Strike: Hold the mallet loosely. Tap the outer wall just below the rim with a gentle, controlled stroke, then let the sound ring and fade before striking again.
Rim play: Hold the mallet upright and press it against the outer edge of the rim. Circle slowly with steady pressure and an even pace. If the mallet rattles, slow down and keep the pressure even.
Each bowl responds a little differently. Practise gently to find the stroke, pressure and speed that suit your bowl.
