Ring-shaped singing bowl cushions have two main functions. They are a great way to display your singing bowl when it is not in use, while protecting the base from scratches, dents and accidental movement. They are also handy if you are playing multiple singing bowls at the same time, or if your singing bowl is too large or too heavy to hold by hand. The doughnut shape offers good stability as the hole in the middle allows your singing bowl to sit securely, and you don't have to worry about the bowl moving or falling off while you are striking it.

If you plan to play your singing bowl on its cushion, be sure to choose the appropriate size. If the cushion is too small, the singing bowl will not sit securely or stably. If the cushion is too large, the sound of the singing bowl will be muted.
