The gyaling is a Tibetan wind instrument used in the combination of ritual chants and music known as yangröl. We can literally translate the name of this musical instrument as “Indian trumpet.” It is a reed instrument, somewhat similar to an oboe. The player passes air down the reed through a cylindrical tube. Gyalings are often used during peaceful offerings and are the only instruments that are played using discrete pitches as opposed to slurred melodies.
