The surface is polished blank, without engraving or ornamentation: pure brass in a warm gold tone, with a fine grooved ring on the outer edge. The two cymbals are connected with a classic black leather strap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e6 cm diameter for Tingsha means a long, calm sustain. The larger the cymbal, the deeper and longer the tone resonates after being struck – sometimes up to 20–30 seconds. It is precisely this long decay that many people find so calming: you strike it, and then you simply listen as the sound slowly fades.\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 connected by a strap and struck together. They are traditionally made of a special metal alloy – usually bronze or brass, sometimes with traces of silver, iron, or other metals – and have been used in Buddhist practice in Tibet for centuries: to mark the beginning and end of a meditation, to purify the space before a ceremony, or simply as a transition between two moments of the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMeaning \u0026amp; Application\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn the Tibetan tradition, cymbals have various functions – they mark transitions, call attention, and help to collect the mind. They are used at the beginning of a meditation to signal to body and mind: something new is beginning now. And at the end, to accompany the transition back into everyday life.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut Tingsha are not just for meditation. Many people place them on their desks, in the kitchen, in the bedroom – and strike them when they want to pause briefly. This one sound can sometimes do more than ten minutes of contemplation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eApplication – how to use them\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eHold the leather strap in one hand, with 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 sustain.\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\u003ePolished cymbals can tarnish over time – this is normal and not a defect.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eFreshen up with a soft cloth and some brass polish if desired – or simply leave it as is, the patina has its own character.\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 be happy to strike the cymbals for you live so you can hear the sound for yourself.
