SOLD OUT!
Introducing a kangling that is without doubt the finest alternative to human bone available in the marketplace. For those who don't know, it is illegal to export human bone kanglings
from Nepal, which makes it difficult for Chöd practitioners to work with these essential ritual items. Our beautiful wooden kanglings are clearly the answer to this problem.
They are made from fine Bhutanese Sengdeng wood and covered in goatskin in the traditional manner. The fire gilded mouthpiece is finely engraved with Tibetan style artwork, such as a smiling skull and vajra border. It is lined with beeswax to give the wood extra longevity and protection. The weight is wonderful and the sound is incredible. Some would argue they sound even better than a bone kangling. They are very robust and will become a wonderful companion for a lifetime of practice.
Each kangling comes complete with a high quality brocade protective case. Exquisite!
length approx 31 cm
