Also known as Tibetan Singing Bowls, rin gongs, Himalayan bowls or suzu gongs. Singing bowls are used worldwide for meditation, music, relaxation, personal well-being. The sides and rim of singing bowls vibrate to produce sound characterized by a fundamental frequency (first harmonic) and usually two audible harmonic overtones (second and third harmonic). According to singing bowl researcher Joseph Feinstein, singing bowls were traditionally used in Asia and the tradition of making sound with bronze bowls could go back 3,000 or more years to the bronze age.

Tingshas are two circular, metal discs held together by a cord. To play the tingshas, hold one side at the bottom of the leather strap in the center of the tingsha and strike the other side at a 90 degree angle. Allow the sound to resonate until it comes to its natural end. Tingshas are often used at the beginning of meditation or a round of chanting, and again at the end. Tingshas have also been used, like Singing Bowls, in sound healing, and in fengshui tingshas are used to clear the room of negative energy. It is believed that the sound of tingshas will ward off evil.
