The cymbals are generally joined together by a strap and produce a clear, high pitched ringing tone when struck together.In addition to their ancient traditional use as an aid to meditation and in ritual offerings, Tingsa are nowadays being used increasingly in sound therapy for the “space - clearing” of rooms.This pair has been delightfully cast with a flower of life design. These Tingsa have been made by fairly paid Nepalese artisans. Guaranteed Fair Trade.
