Many dis-satisfactory experiences over the past years with imported ring cushions being in all kinds of shape other than neatly round and having lumps and bumps instead of being equally thick, lead us to the decision to start an own production of ring cushions in the U.S.
Every single ring cushion is designed and hand crafted in North Idaho in our own facility, made to HIGHEST STANDARDS, perfectly shaped and even in thickness, the Best Quality you can get for your treasured Tibetan singing bowl.
The core of each ring cushion is carefully and evenly hand coiled, far superior to simply bending a rolled material, resulting in a solid, sturdy, round, ring Then multiple layers of cushioning material are applied over the core before the final colored silky satin brocade is applied. This complex process guaranties, that each ring meets the crucial quality standard to have a Tibetan bowl standing on the ring is not only securely in place, but to also let the bowl freely sing and sound without snare, rattle or muffling!
Ring cushions will hold your bowl in place while you play them - the bowl won't slide off of the cushion. Unlike other cushions, ring cushions must exactly fit your bowl. If the center diameter is too small they won't hold the bowl securely but if it is too large the cushion will interfere with the sound of the bowl or even allow the bowl to fall through the center. A good rule of thumb is that the cushion outer diameter is 85% of the diameter of the bowl. These ring cushions are hand made and inner, outer and thickness measurements will vary. If you are unsure, please contact us and we will find the right ring for the bowl you have ordered.
Our new U.S. hand crafted ring cushions are of very high quality with a coiled center core and multiple underlying cushioning, they will last for many years and can be re-covered when the brocade is damaged by time or use. Because they are individually hand coiled of natural materials there will be slight differences in diameter.
Please allow 2-3 business days after your order is placed to have the ring (-s) being made (except bulk order). If a size or color you are looking for is not available in our store, please contact Heaven of Sound for availability and prices of a custom made ring cushion you need.
