A traditional Tibetan trumpet (kangling) crafted from precious Santang wood, also known as Himalayan acacia or seng deng wood. Shaped to resemble a human femur, the mouthpiece is adorned with light carvings of Tibetan motifs and the opposite end is wrapped in hand-stitched red leather.
As genuine bone implements are becoming harder to come by, wooden and synthetic alternatives are ideal for beginner practitioners and for use during travel. Recommended for Chöd practices and for wrathful rituals associated with the Dharma Protectors.
Store respectfully in a clean and nice place when not in use. Includes a traditional brocade protective case.
About Kanglings
The kangling (Wylie: *rkang gling)* is a Tibetan trumpet or horn that is traditionally made from a human femur bone. It is usually played in short sustained blasts and produces a piercing, otherworldly sound that pleases the unseen beings during the practice of Chöd and other associated rituals.
