About the Sound Sample:

IMPORTANT--  Use your EARPHONES to enjoy & experience the true sound of this singing bowl set! (Especially with laptops, tablets, mobile and cellphones as their speakers cannot accurately reproduce the richness and wide dynamic range of a singing bowl's tones.)

First you'll hear the sound of the ten singing bowls played around their upper outside edges with the wood side of the included Tibetan-wool mallet. Then you'll hear each bowl played around their rims with a leather mallet. Next they are played by striking  on their upper inside edges with the included knit head mallet to produce their fundamental tones, and last is the same but this time a bit faster.
