Duplicate article[edit]

The following text was copied from the dupe article 'Manjeera' before it was changed to a redirect.

Manjeera, also known as manjira, tala, khartal or kartal are small metal cymbals that originated in India. They are held and played with the hands and often accompany folk or devotional music. Manjeera are usually made of bronze, brass, copper or zinc and connected with a copper cord which passes through holes in their center. They produce a rhythmic tinkling sound whose pitch varies according to their size, weight and the material of their construction. A player can also adjust the timbre by varying the point of contact while playing. There are also small cymbals incrustated into wood blocks forming another type of instrument also known as khartal.The manjeera is an ancient instrument. Pictures of it have been found in temples dating back to the earliest times.

Isn't the quoted text below description of lezims?

"The manjira can also consist of a wooden frame with two long straight handles that connect to each other with two short wooden handles; the open space between the long handles has a wooden separator that separates two rows of three (total of six) brass jingles." —Preceding unsigned comment added by Myaoon (talk • contribs) 17:55, 5 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
