Fair Trade Tibetan Chimes with Box

Fair Trade Tibetan chime with box.  Tibetan TingSha chimes are traditionally used by Tibetan Buddhists to mark the beginning and end of meditation.  They are also used by a Buddhist master to bring a student back into focus when his mind wanders during meditation.

The sound is penetrating and purposely dissonant unlike the harmonic overtones of the Tibetan singing bowls.

You can chime them by either;
1) Slightly tapping them together (soft sound).
2) Holding the leather cord at its centre and swinging the chimes together so that they strike each other strongly (loud sound).

Note: Symbols on the chimes may vary slightly from illustration.
