Tingsha, or ting-sha (), are small used in prayer and rituals by Tibetan Buddhism practitioners. Two cymbals are joined together by a leather strap or chain. The cymbals are struck together producing a clear and high pitched tone. Typical sizes range from 2.5–4 inches in diameter. Tingsha are very thick and produce a unique long ringing tone. Antique tingsha were made from special bronze that produce harmonic overtones.
