If you grip Tibetan Singing Bowls in your palm, it remains free to vibrate. Then, you can softly slide a mallet across the side of it. This is what makes the singing sensation, often used for Tibetan meditation. You can also softly tap the wall of the bowl. This makes a bell-like chord. Either method you play crystal singing bowls, it is the vibrations that generate the sound, similar to if you press and slide your finger around the edge of a goblet. The pitch of the singing can be altered depending on the bowl width. Bowls can range in diameter from three to 15 inches. You can also increase the mallet speed to modify the sound.
