WHAT IS TIBETAN TING-SHAG/TING-SHA?
The Tibetan Tingsha, or Ting-Sha, is another exotic sound instrument Tibetans and people from different parts of the world love. It comprises a pair of small metal alloy cymbals, each connected at the end of a leather strap or a chain. The Tingsha cymbals are much more miniature than the orchestra cymbals, which are not touched and are simply held by each hand of the musician. They are clapped together quite vigorously, unlike the tingshas, which need to be struck gently.
