I bought an amazing Tibetan bowl. It sings in at least 1,542 tones all at once. (I made up that number, but it DOES have more ringtones than a 21-year-old's cellphone.)
The problem: The only way I could get a good sound was if I held the bowl or placed it on a body part. If I asked it to sing ("striking" or "hitting" sound like such violent words for what one does in order to hear a Tibetan bowl) while it sat on the floor or a table, it would sound awful - just an irritating vibration.
The solution: I saw that I could order little cloth stands that look like donuts and that gave me the idea of making my own cloth stand. In order to do that, though, I would have to pull out my little used sewing machine, hoping that the last time I broke the needle, I also replaced it.
OR
I could ask "What Would Goodnight Gram Do?" Which I did. Then I promptly sat down and knitted a donut for my bowl.
Viola! It works superbly!
You can see it peaking out from under the bowl in the photo above.
Oh, I wish you could hear the beautiful chime!
