Overview
Typical sizes range from 2.5 to 4 inches in diameter. Tingsha are very thick and produce a unique long ringing tone. Antique tingsha were made from special bronze alloys that produce harmonic overtones. • Illustration — Tingsha • Illustration — Tingsha cymbals designed with the eight auspicious symbols • Illustration — Tibetan tingsha bells with the mantra Om Mani Padme Hung mantra written round them
