The Ching

The Ching which is a percussion instrument of the cymbal type comes in pairs and
is made of a thick metal shaped like a tea-cup or hollow cone. The Ching is played
by hitting the two pieces together. Each one measures about 6-7 cm, 2 1/2"-2 3/4 :
in diameter.
At the apex of each there is a small hole through which a cord is passed. A knot at
each end of the cord fits inside the apex of the cymbal and prevents the cord from
slipping through.
