When I strike these cymbals, it feels like a window opening. The larger ones are deeper, calmer. These awaken you – in a good way.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTibetan Cymbals – Tingsha 6.5 cm, plain (168 g)\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese Tingsha cymbals have a diameter of 6.5 cm and weigh 168 grams. Compared to the 6 cm cymbals in our range, they are larger in diameter but lighter – the thinner material produces a brighter, clearer tone with a high, almost glass-like resonance. Anyone who hears both variants side by side will immediately notice the difference: the 6 cm cymbals sound deeper and fuller, these here brighter and more penetrating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe surface is plain polished, golden brass, without printed ornaments – but the inside bears etched marks that indicate artisanal manufacturing. The two cymbals are connected by a classic black leather strap. The dome on this variant is significantly higher and more curved than on the 6 cm version – this can be clearly seen in the side views.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat are Tingsha cymbals?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTingsha (Tibetan: ཏིང་ཤགས) are a pair of small metal cymbals made of brass or bronze, connected by a strap and struck against each other. They have been used in Tibetan Buddhist practice for centuries – to mark the beginning and end of meditation, to purify space, or as a transition between two moments of the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003e6 cm vs. 6.5 cm – which is right for me?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThat's a question I often get in the store. My answer: Listen to both and decide with your ears, not your head. As a rule of thumb: The \u003cstrong\u003e6 cm cymbals\u003c\/strong\u003e sound deeper, heavier, more grounding – good for long meditations and calm morning rituals. The \u003cstrong\u003e6.5 cm cymbals\u003c\/strong\u003e sound brighter, clearer, more awakening – good for transitions between moments, as a mindfulness signal in everyday life, or when you need something clear.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eUsage – here's how\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eHold the leather strap in one hand, both cymbals hanging freely downwards.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eLightly strike the edges of the two cymbals against each other – not the flat sides, but the edges.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRelease immediately and let the sound resonate – the less you touch the cymbals afterwards, the longer the tone will last.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eFor a softer sound, strike at an angle; for a clearer, brighter tone, strike edge to edge directly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003ePlain polished cymbals may tarnish over time – this is normal and not a defect.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRefresh with a soft cloth and some brass polish if desired – or simply let the patina grow.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eDo not immerse in water; keep leather strap dry.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003chr class=\"hv-divider\"\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCome by Kramgasse 63 in Bern – I'll play both cymbal variants for you so you can hear the sound difference directly.
