Sela Percussion HARMONY SINGING BOWL 15 SE 261

Historical Context and Positioning Within the Range

Part of the Sela Harmony series, this singing bowl continues the tradition of instruments inspired by Tibetan singing bowls, valued both for intuitive music and relaxation practices. The Harmony range emphasizes meticulous handcrafted production, a sober aesthetic thanks to the shimmering matte finish, and a recognizable visual identity with its engraved logo inside. The series is available in seven sizes, allowing exploration of different pitches and vibrational sensations according to your needs.

Who This Drum/Singing Bowl Is For

The Sela Harmony 15 cm singing bowl is suitable for both beginners and advanced practitioners: it is easy to make resonate and expressive enough to refine your technique over time. It is aimed at musicians seeking ethereal timbres, as well as for meditation, yoga, sound massage, and sound therapy practices, where note stability and vibration length are essential. Alone or in ensemble, it naturally integrates into acoustic atmospheres, soundscapes, and guided relaxation sessions.

Features and Innovations

This model comes with an exclusive combined mallet that offers two complementary approaches. The round felt head allows for a soft and controlled attack, ideal for bringing out the fundamental tone without harshness. The leather-covered handle is designed for friction: by rubbing the bowl's rim with a steady motion, you produce a continuous, progressive chant, perfect for establishing harmonic tension or accompanying breathing. The felt ring stabilizes the bowl, limits energy loss, and promotes more consistent vibrational behavior depending on the playing surface.

Sound Characteristics

Brass is prized for its ability to produce long-lasting resonance and rich harmonic content. On this singing bowl, it promotes a clear projection, a well-defined fundamental, and a progressive build-up of vibration, particularly pleasant in friction playing. The matte finish contributes to a more "grounded" playing feel while maintaining a beautiful richness of overtones, which helps create spherical and immersive sound layers.

When struck, the sound unfolds with a muffled attack, then opens into a long sustain and slowly evolving harmonics, ideal for relaxation and attentive listening. In friction, the chant establishes itself more continuously, with intensity modulated by pressure and speed of the gesture. Played solo, it structures the sound space; combined with other sizes, it allows building a vibrational scale and a true "sound journey."
