chimta
''Chimta'' ((パンジャーブ語: ਚਿਮਟਾ ), Shahmukhī: ) literally means tongs. Over time it has evolved into a traditional percussion instrument of South Asia by the permanent addition of small brass jingles. This instrument is often used in popular Punjabi folk songs, Bhangra music and the Sikh religious music known as Gurbani Kirtan.
The player of the chimta is able to produce a chiming sound if he holds the joint of the instrument in one hand and strikes the two sides of the chimta together. The jingles are made of metal and thus it produces a metallic sound and helps to keep up the beat of the song.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.mapsofindia.com/himachal-pradesh/musical-instruments/chimta.html )〕
In Bhangra music or at weddings it is often combined with Dhol and Bhangra dancers.
==Construction and design==
The chimta consists of a long, flat piece of steel or iron that is pointed at both ends, and folded over in the middle. A metal ring is attached near the fold, and there are jingles or rings attached along the sides at regular intervals. Sometimes there are seven pairs of jingles. The rings are plucked in a downward motion to produce tinkling sounds. Chimtas with large rings are used at rural festivals while ones with smaller rings are often used as an accompaniment to Bhangra dancers and singers of traditional Indian hymns.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.mapsofindia.com/himachal-pradesh/musical-instruments/chimta.html )〕
