Stramash 11 Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share Can see it now - looks like part of a music box - where did you find it? Quote Link to comment
sweetie0987 1 Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share actually i found it in Malacca but I didn't realize that it's a kind of instrument ... Quote Link to comment
sweetie0987 1 Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share no no .. use fingers to play it .. do you see the 7 small irons .? it has different tones .. ^^ Quote Link to comment
Jos_38 0 Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share It looks like a traditional metal harp, of the kind in a musicbox, but much bigger, I would think You need sticks to hammer on this one... The plate under seem to hold a resonance chamber ? As it has only 7 tones, I would therefore call it a bass instrument... But a possible name would include harp so for my guess "bass metal harp" or "bass bell harp"... Both names are very surely wrong but I think descriptive... Quote Link to comment

Stramash 11 Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share It doesn't seem to appear in lists of traditional Malysian instruments so I am guessing it is something of a hybrid - with the decoration from the local area and the actual workings looking like an adaptation of the mechanism inside a music box. What size is it? Quote Link to comment

Stramash 11 Posted July 31, 2012 Report Share The size is like a coconut shell .. I think it would be played with the fingers then. But a mystery! Quote Link to comment
sweetie0987 1 Posted August 1, 2012 Report Share I post it here coz I think there are many tourists are using this site .. so they might know .. I also see this instrument in Singapore .. but I was in the guest house .. so i guess some tourists may just dropped it there . .... I am curious to know how to play it ... Quote Link to comment
