    I think I bought the small mokugyo fish drum for less than twenty dollars and a Tibetan singing bell around the same price through Amazon. I use the fish drum again in place of the clackers at the end of kinhin. The Monastery Store has more authentic Zen instruments. I see the clackers are now $49, which is a lot less than I remember them being. I just ordered clackers. The Monastery Store also offers a full size mukugyo fish drum and bells usually used for Soto Zen ceremonies.
