Flat Bell

The flat bells made from brass are used as musical intruments in Bhutanese processions. The person bearing the flat ting ting bell follows the person bearing the long procession drum at the front of the procession line. The bell is rung by a short hard piece of wood. This bell and the procession drum are also beaten during the entry and exit of cham dances.
