CHIMPTA (CHIMTA)
 

Home / Hindu Culture / Music / Musical Instrument

 

     
  The chimpta is actually a fire tong. However, it has evolved into a musical instrument by the permanent addition of small brass jingles. This instrument is especially popular in Punjabi folk music and the Sikh religious music known as Shabad.
