The gyaling (Tibetan: རྒྱ་གླིང་།, Wylie: rgya gling, English: also spelled gya ling, gya-ling, jahlin, jah-lin, jahling, jah-ling, rgya-gling etc.

As its name indicates, it is the Chinese double reed Suona horn (much like the Iranian sorna) used mainly in Tibetan monasteries during puja (chanting and prayer) and is associated with peaceful deities and the idea of devotion.

[1] The gyaling is oboe-like in appearance with a long hardwood body and copper brass bell.

The double reed, which is made from a single stem of marsh grass, is placed upon a small metal channel that protrudes out of the top.

[3] A typical Tibetan Buddhist ritual orchestra consists of a gyaling, dungchen, kangling, dungkar (conch shells), drillbu (handbells), silnyen (vertical cymbals), and most importantly, chanting.
