En spesiell legering blir oppvarmet i ovnen og deretter banket i form av utallige hammerslag. For hammerslagene er det nødvendig med opptil 6 menn, som vekselvis jobber på en enkelt Syngebolle. Tibetanske Syngeboller, når de slås riktig, skaper en fantastisk atmosfære av fred og åndelighet. Undertonene og overtonene de produserer fjerner blokkeringer og roer sinnet. Den tibetanske Syngebollen er et instrument som hører hjemme i alle åndelige husholdninger.

Beaten Singing Bowls
Engraved or hand hammered singing bowls are made by way of a complete hand hammering process. Every single singing bowl is carefully hand beaten, which requires several steps to complete the process and shaped it into a perfect hand hammered singing bowl. In the process, first the various composition of metals, as raw materials (copper, tin, zinc, iron, lead, gold and silver) are melted in a furnace, according to manufacturing requirements, such as for the making of bronze singing bowls or for seven metal singing bowls. The hot melted metal is removed from the furnace and poured into a mould to prepare a metal disc for the various sizes and weights. Then, the round metal moulds are cut into round metal discs in required size and thickness. After that, these discs are hand beaten or hammered, following precise measurement, and then categorised according to weight and size. Regarding the hand hammering process of singing bowls, 4 to 5 metal discs are piled one upon the other, and then heated to red hot. The red hot metal sheets are hammered by a group of expert artisans, for as long as the heat remains in the metal, and then again processed to red-hot heating, for a continued beating process. This heating and beating of the bundled and piled up metal discs continues until a desired shape and size is achieved. (That is why the hammered or carved singing bowls will be proportionately different in size and diameter with each individual singing bowl.) During the hammering process of these singing bowls, the metal disc can only be hammered during the time of being red hot, while it remains soft and flexible. Because when the metal gets colder, it will loose its softness and flexibility, which in turn makes the metal brittle and thus the bowl could be ruined. The reason behind this intensive working process is that the metal content (bronze or seven metals mixture) is very sensitive to heat and gets harder when it looses its hot temperature and will get cracks and break.
After completion of shaping the desired bowls, the individual work will start. At this stage, every bowl is brought into uniform shape and size, and once more, this can only be done during the red burning heating and beating process. After finalising the shape and size, more hammering is done for a final fine tuning and shaping of the singing bowls. Each individual singing bowl is then chiselled and scoured for the finishing touch, both inside and out.

About Beaten Singing Bowls: Beaten or hand hammered singing bowls are made by complete hand hammering process. In beaten singing bowls, every single singing bowl are carefully hand beaten which requires several processes to finish up and shaping into a perfect hand hammered singing bowl.
In the making process, first the various composition of metals as raw materials (Copper, Tin, Zinc, Iron, Lead, Gold and Silver) are melted into furnace depending on manufacturing needs such as for bronze singing bowl or for seven metal singing bowl making. The hot melted metal are taken from furnace and poured into a Gulli Cup or Dice to prepared metal mould for the various size and weight. Then, the round metal gulli or moulds are taken to make rolling and turn into round metal sheet in needed size and thickness. After that, the sheet are brought for the hand beating or hammering process after precise measurement and categorized for weight and sized bowls.
Regarding hand hammering process of singing bowls making, 4 -5 round metal sheets are piled up one upon another and then heated to red hot burn. The red hot burned metal sheets are hammered from a group of expert artisan till the heat remains in metal, and again processes to red heating for continuous beating for the singing bowl shaping. This heating and beating process with the bundled and piled up metal sheets continues until a desired shape and size forms from a metal sheet. (That is why the hammered or beaten singing bowls will get proportionately difference in a size centimeter with each individual singing bowl). In hammering process of these singing bowls, the metal sheet must hammer and beating on the time of red hot only which remains softness and flexibility on the metal, this is because as the metal getting colder, will loose its softness and flexibility which in turns tampered and gets hardness on metal, and thus breaks metal or bowl if done hammered.
The reason behind this working process is the metal content Bronze or Seven Metal mixture is very sensitive to heat and gets harder if it looses it hot temperature and will have cracks and breaks if works. So in this shaping stage of hammered singing bowls, the makings are done with the duration of hot metal only.

After completion of gaining desired bowls shaping, the individual works start with the making process. At this making stage, every bowl is brought into uniform shape and size and it should also be done by red burning and heating process and then beating. After finalizing the shape and size, hammering is done for final fine tuning and shaping of singing bowls. Then individual singing bowls are then chiseled and made turning the rough surface of singing bowls for fine finishing and looks from inside and outside surface according to finishing needs.
