Tingshas (Tibetan Chimes)

Awaken your spirit and summon peacefulness with the vibration of tingsha chimes. These prayer chimes have been used for centuries by Tibetan Buddhists. Each tingsha is individually sand cast by master bell makers of special alloys that produces a powerful harmonic resonance when played. At Zanzibar Trading Company, we're proud to offer one of the largest selections of fine quality tingshas on the internet.

What are Tingshas? click to the left for a complete article on our tingshas, how they are made, where and by whom as well as their uses and how to use them. Quality vs. Price of Tingshas?

If you would like to hear a particular set of tingshas, just call our retail gallery and we'd be happy to play several pairs over the phone. If we don't have time when you call, we might ask for your phone number and set up a time when someone can do it for you! MOST of our Tingsha come with a leather cord - however you can request a satin cord in a variety of colors - dark blue, light blue, green, red, gold, creme or black (simply place your request in the comments section at checkout!)
