The instruments listed below are chosen for their quality of sound.
Bells (Ankle Bells, Brass Bells, Hand Bells) Cymbals and Chimes
The Tibetan bells and dorjes on this page are used by Buddhist monks in their religious ceremonies. Today these sounds are being used for meditation and health.

Stone Bells (tm) Traditionally, bells are sacred. The ancient
civilizations of India, Sumer, China and Egypt all had bells. The great cathedral builders
of Europe constructd magnificent towers to house their bells. In the liturgy of many
Christian faiths, bells are rung in the holiest part of the service. Why does the
bell hold such importance in so many cultures? Could its mystery lie in the fact that the
bell sounds its fundamental tone and yet rings with the higher overtones of this basic
sound? Do these sounds within sounds give the bell this quality of the sacred?
One function of bells is that they have become time keepers, at least
in the centuries leading up to our era. Hearing a churchbell chime 3 times for 3:00
creates a sense of stillness, while our silent digital watches are usually a reminder of
things to be done. Our association with this kind of clock gives us the feeling that time
is running quickly, rushing us along with its hectic pace. On the other hand, the bell
sounds as a pause on the hour, creating a different view of time, one which is more
organic, more in tune with nature.
These bells are handmade and rich in harmonics. The resonator is
bluestone, used for its earthiness, a base for this more ethereal sound. This concept is
very close to that of the ancient Chinese who, 5,000 years ago, believed that music is the
regulating factor between the earth and the heavens. Today people also use bells for healing and meditation.
