Description

The Manjira is a traditional percussion instrument of India. In its simplest form, it is a pair of small hand cymbals. It is also known as manjeera, taal, jalra, khartal or kartal, Gini.

They often accompany folk or devotional music and are used in various religious ceremonies of India, especially bhajans. The manjira is an ancient instrument. Pictures of it have been found in temples dating back to the earliest times. It's small and easy to carry.

This pair is made up of brass.  They produce a rhythmic tinkling sound when struck together. The sound's pitch varies according to their size, weight and the material of their construction. A player can also adjust the timbre by varying the point of contact while playing.Please note each item is handmade. Photographs and videos are for representation purposes and the designs/colors can vary.

    The kansa metal has a nice ringing tone, and the manjira are easy to handle. The edges are a little irregular so the manjira have a handmade rustic appearance, yet the cymbals are well-matched within each pair. I ordered 2 pairs of the small size.

    We purchased the large manjira from the school to be in support of the great music we are learning and love. The product is exactly as described, the original tag on them made us feel like we were in India again. The service and follow up has been great. So good, in fact, we are purchasing more from the store. Thank you for quality products, service and for the music you teach and inspire.

    I bought a few of these manjiras for my temple. It's used there most of the times.
