Some of you may be into sound healing or just interested in the unique sounds and vibrations of the singing bowl, and this article shares where to buy singing bowls in PJ/KL as they are not easy to come by.
First of all, a singing bowl is very personal and not something you buy online, like clothes or other fast-moving consumer goods. Many younger shoppers seem to think that everything can and should be bought online, but we at Green Daun beg to differ on this.
Certain items still require a personal touch and feel when buying, and singing bowls are one of them.
Where to Buy Singing Bowls in PJ/KL?
Most of you may have seen these circular metal bowls being sold online, and some even below RM50.00 a bowl, but let us share the pros and cons of this.
Personally, if you are genuinely into this kind of healing, cleansing or relaxation, you will choose to learn and understand more about the singing bowl before buying one or a few for yourself.
Some people find a fascination with how the bowl sings when played, and others find a sense of relaxation and calmness when they play the bowl.
It does not mean that automatically, you are a healer or professional when you buy a bowl and play it. Some people have studied this skill and art for years, yet they are still learning.
Well, with the new age and yoga trend picking up online and in the social media world, it is no wonder that there are overnight masters and gurus out there.
The point to this is simple – You need to learn and understand things before claiming you know it all, and what better way than to talk to people in person, not through messenger or PM.
What Type of Singing Bowls Are the Best?
Due to the many types of singing bowls available in the market, there are lousy ones, moderate ones and good ones.
Therefore, we will share the difference between these singing bowls with you to have a better understanding, as not many people want to share this knowledge.
Colourful Singing Bowls – These are so-the-trend nowadays that there are so many gullible people out there seeking the healing lifestyle; therefore, the demand has created these machine-made budget bowls from China that come in seven chakra colours.
Yes, each bowl represents a chakra colour with some Sanskrit writing around the bowls, and these are the Yoga-New-Age groupie thing, like Bali or Canggu, you know?
Usually, they are sold in smaller sizes from 2″ to 4″ wide and in the seven primary chakra colours, and you can find them primarily online on shopping platforms like eBay, Shopee, Lazada and of course, the all-great Alibaba.
Brass Finished Sanskrit Word Singing Bowls – These rave a few years ago among the new age community and having some Sanskrit words was the coolest thing on singing bowls.
These bowls are also full machine-made in Nepal and China, sorry not in Tibet. They look authentic and solid and are often passed off as antique singing bowls for those who do not know.
So, first-time buyers may fall for this trap when they have little or no knowledge in singing bowls, so willing buyers, willing makers and sellers out there. My advice would always be to talk to someone who knows singing bowls before blindly buying one or a few.
These Sanskrit word singing bowls are aplenty worldwide as you can find them mostly online and at many retail shops, healing centres and some new age shops.
5 Metal Singing Bowls – These are the most sought after ones by beginners or those new to singing bowls, and they are often just basic. Again, many beginners will be attracted by the colours and designs of the singing bowls, but the truth be told is that the best singing bowls look simple and basic.
For the 5 Metal Singing Bowls, the entire bowl is machine made to create roundness, while the middle and lower parts of the bowl are hand-knocked to create the indents and the sound or vibration. And these bowls are usually made from five metals commercially done around Kathmandu in Nepal.
Crystal Quartz Singing Bowls – These are also popular among the healers and those who do sound healing, and let me say they are not cheap. Well, unless you get the small ones from China.
Usually, these crystal singing bowls are the large ones used in sound healing, but with current demand nowadays, manufacturers have started to make small ones in China.
We have used the large ones before but not the small ones, and speaking to a singing bowl healer, they have voiced out that the small ones are not good.
Seven Metal Hand Made Bowls – Usually made in larger sizes, the 7-metal singing bowls are fully handmade and knocked into shape by the makers in Tibet and Nepal.
Due to a very confusing history about the seven metals used, it is nowadays just termed at 7-metals consisting of bronze, copper and tin mixtures. The exact formula is not known to ordinary people like us.
But actually, they still hand-beat the metal into these ought after singing bowls that are usually five to 12-inch diameter bowls. The finishing is rough and not very appealing, but the sound and vibration count.
If you have tried singing a 7″ inch bowl, you will know the vibration and sound it produces is of superior quality compared to all the bowls mentioned above. And just for the record, these fully handmade bowls do not come cheap with a minimum price of RM500 and above per bowl, depending on the size.
Full Moon Singing Bowls – The most sought after singing bowls by serious or advanced users are the full moon made singing bowls. This means that the bowls were made during the full moon night.
While it still is questionable from sellers in China, I strongly believe that buying this from the right person will only provide you with the authentic full moon singing bowl.
These bowls are usually five inches and above in size and have the special full moon marking. There is also some Sanskrit wordings on the other side of the full moon marking.
These full moon singing bowls are not cheap and can cost anywhere from RM450.00 to RM10,000 and above. The higher prices are for specially made ones by reputable makers.

What Makes Green Daun Different and Special?
This is a question that some people may be asking before coming over and sharing with you, we are a proper new age shop, and we are not online sellers that popped up overnight or since the Covid 19.
We have been selling singing bowls since 2018, long before Covid19 came, and we take pride in what we do, while our primary goal is to help people in need of it rather than operate a business to make money only.
All our singing bowls are personally bought, meaning we do not buy them online. We used to travel abroad to see, test and feel each of the singing bowls sold in our shop, while now we have reputable suppliers.
This is our guarantee that we have already tested the bowl you are buying, and each of them has its own singing frequency. Ask us about that if you are into this.
All our singing bowls for sale are also pre-cleansed, and when you buy any of them, we will also cleanse them again for you.
Unlike online, you cannot test and feel the singing bowl, meaning you will pay for it and wait for it to be delivered, and if you receive it and it does not sing, you are just unlucky. You do not know much about the seller or the bowl.
Even in some shops around Malaysia, we have personally walked in asked the store assistant, and they do not even know where the bowl is from, which says a lot.
In fact, Wikipedia even classifies the Singing Bowl as a Standing Bell, and if you want to learn more, you should read that.
