[OSList] Sharing Our Best Recommendations with Each Other

[Michael M Pannwitz]

... attached a picture of the type of Tibetan Temple Bells that HO 
refers to (there is a drawing of them on page 115 of the 3rd Edition of 
the Users Guide). The ones pictured in your tool are very large...and 
you would not need two of them. They remind me very much of the kind of 
bells that are used at traditional formal meetings (in the West) and 
used to bring order into the meeting. And pretty expensive at 229.99 to 
589,99 on the amazon link provided by your tool, weighing 3 to 5 pounds.

brought two of them as a present for me. They now sit on my workdesk, 
very impressive.


The ones in the attached picture are flat, 8cm in diameter, about 400gm 
a pair and have a rather soft, dark sound that carries... you can hear 
them in every corner of the room with 2000+ people gathered (OS in 
Würzburg in 2003 with 2108 participants)... but they are good for 
smaller groups because you can control the volume nicely (takes a little 
practice). This type costs about 40 to 60 US$.
The pair I use I purchased in a Buddhist Temple in San Diego early in 
this century... actually I got several, one of them I gave to Galina 
Tsarkova, she holds them in her hands in her World Map entry
